Email on Filemaker

[buntha]

I am using Filemaker Pro 4 with Web Companion on WindowsNT4.

Sharing data on our intranet, using CDML tag for sending email

message to user. The problem I am having is that based on the reply

I got back the sending process was successfut. However the email

recipient never received a message. My question:

How does Filemaker Send email message? Does it use the SMTP or

or does it uses MAPI? if it uses MAPI, what should I put into the

profile for Outlook express and/or Outlook?

I would appreciate any assitance you can provide regarding this issue.

Thanks you.

This a plug-in for sending mail. It works very well.

All the best.

Web Companion might successfully SMTP the data to the mail server (and tell the user it has done so) but WC does not report of the mail server was successful in sending the message.

The *only* way to find out what's happening is to turn on the activity log, process the form that sends the mail, then read the log. It will have a message that (more or less) explains what went wrong.
