CDOSYS vs. GDForm.asp: GoDaddy’s Mail-Relay Alternative

March 18th, 2008 No comments

One thing I have come across time and time again are fellow developers who are completely perplexed by the GoDaddy GDform.asp form mailer. What they often times do not realize is that this is not the only method available to them; GoDaddy also allows for the use of the CDONTS and CDOSYS functionalities. Proof of this can be found in the GoDaddy help knowledge base found here: http://help.godaddy.com/article/1485

The CDOSYS functionality is what I am going to focus on here as it is what I personally use and have had amazing results with. It uses the System.Net.Mail namespace and can be used with all of the Windows hosting accounts on the GoDaddy network. Certain hosting accounts however do have some limitations as to how many messages can go out in a day, which I will discuss later in this post. If you want to check out the GoDaddy help knowledge base article on using CDOSYS functionalities feel free to check it out at the following URL, however rest assured that I am going to simplify it for you a bit: http://help.godaddy.com/article/1073 » Read the Rest
