[thelist] ASP sendmail/whatever on NT4

[Canfield, Joel]

NT supports CDONTS but you have to have SMTP running, and I don't think it's
part of the default install. It's in the Option pack, and isn't a terribly
invasive or complex modification, but if you don't have access to the
machine it's not helpful. I've also used JMail, but again, it requires some
install on the NT box.

Hi everybody,

I'm delving into the murky depths of ASP for the first time in *ages*, and
I've run into a little problem.

I'm trying to use ASP to retrieve a bunch of form values, stuff them into an
email, and send them off.

On win2K (IIS 5?) this works fine: Set objCDOMail =
Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

But, the server this is going to be on is NT, and as far as I can make out,
NT doesnt support CDONTS objects natively.

This NT server is on the other side of the Atlantic, and installing new
components will be a total pain in the arse. Is there another way I can do
this, short of using <form action=mailto:>? I really don't want to do that.

Cheers,

Kerin
