[QUOTE="Barry, post: 394044, member: 30457"] Ensure that you have correctly formed email addresses. For example: Dim mMessage As New MailMessage With mMessage .From = "Automated Mail" .To = "you@yourhouse.com" End With will result in >> Could not access 'CDO.Message' object. (InnerException.Message) The server rejected the sender address. The server response was: 553 malformed address: <Automated Mail> removing the space, in this instance, from the .From property will resolve the error. Imports System.Web.mail Sub sendmail() Dim mMessage As New MailMessage With mMessage .From = "AutomatedMail" .To = "you@yourhouse.com" End With SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "[servername]" SmtpMail.Send(mailMsg) End Sub Note: some email servers will have policy restrictions applied to them to prevent spam, e.g. mail may only be allowed to go external if its origin is safe.
