We have our billing system set to generate a 'welcome email' everytime a mailbox is created. Serves the task of creating the physical mailbox, and gives us a chance to: - "If you got this, you've setup your mail client right" - Your next bill id due... - List of links, etc.
We accomplish this by calling an ASP page, which uses ASPEmail to kick the email to the user. We call the page like: http://my.server.com/sendmail.asp?[EMAIL PROTECTED]?name=Joe%20User The other way should work fine too, but having any ASP page that has filesystem access scares me. :-) Hope this helps, Tony > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Rick Davidson > Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 3:27 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] SQL DATABASE > > > I run an ASP script using the file scripting object to create the > folder on > the Imail machine > > Rick Davidson > Systems Administrator > Buckeye Internet Services, Ltd. > The cool thing about technology is that it keeps getting cooler. > - > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Sergio Rinc�n J." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 11:54 AM > Subject: [IMail Forum] SQL DATABASE > > > Hi there: > > Well, i have installed IMAIL7.5HF2 on a win2k server. > > The thing is that i use an external database (SQL2k DATABASE) and > i have all > of my user account registered there. > > The problem is that i use a company based application that add's users via > an external update command to the SQL database, but i have this problem: > > - Every time a user is added, i get the "INVALID FOLDER" errror > via webmail. > - Via Outlook Express or any other client, the users cant log on to the > account. > > The account starts to work normaly if i send an email to that useraccount. > > I knwo that the problem is that when i create the account on SQL, > it doesnt > create the fisical folder on the users folder, so it cant reach > out the URL > thats on the database, but the strange thing is that on version 5.* it > worked alright. > > So if you know how to send an automatic welcome message to the > new users, or > how to solutionate this issue please help me. > > Thanks. > > > Sergio Rinc�n Jaramillo > HostMaster > GeoNet S.A. > > TEL (574) 5104701 Fax (574) 2350160 > L�nea �nica de Atenci�n al Cliente 3500111 > Calle 34B N� 66� 42, Medell�n, Colombia > > Ya visit� nuestro sitio www.geo.net.co > > Las opiniones que se expresan en este e-mail son personales y no > necesariamente coinciden con las de GeoNet S.A.
