CDOSYS object not working

I am now trying to send email using CDOSYS from a stored procedure on a
Windows 2003 server and Sql Server 2000.
I got this code from the net and trying to figure out why it won't work.
It seems to work ok until I do the "send".
I am getting an error:
Source: CDO.Message.1
Description: The transport failed to connect to the server.
Is this the SMTP server or the code that is using the microsoft addresses
(ie. http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/co...ation/sendusing)?
My code is:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Declare @.From varchar(100) , @.To varchar(100) , @.Subject varchar(100), @.Body
varchar(4000)
/ ****************************************
**
This stored procedure takes the parameters and sends an e-mail. All the mail
configurations are hard-coded in the stored procedure. Comments are added to
the stored procedure where necessary. References to the CDOSYS objects are
at the following MSDN Web site:

Thanks,
TomHave you tried using xp_smtp_sendmail instead? I believe it's easier
to use than CDOSYS.
I found these links on Google Groups:

I did get it to work if I used the IP address instead of the name address.
I was going to look at sp_smtp_sendmail when Tibor mentioned it. But I did
get CDOSYS working. Is sendmail better?
Thanks,
Tom

good.
I searched Google and I think general opinion is that it's easier to
use and has better scalability.
I guess it's a question of personal preference.
Barry|||I was reading about it also and found that the drawback was that you need an
email client to use it. CDOSYS doesn't need this.|||xp_smtp_sendmail doesn't need an email client. The old x_sendmail does.
