I used CDONTS.DLL to created my mail module. I test it in my localhost, it haven't got any error but I don't know where the mail store.
Anybody can tell me ?

Check the subdirectories under C:/InetPub/MailRoot.
You need to have both IIS and SMTP installed. Neither comes with XP Home - only with XP Pro.
Use CDOSYS, not CDONTS if you are on win2000 or later.

 Thanks for your reply, dypyers.

Yes, I have found it, but in under c:/inetpub/mailroot/badmail
I don't understand the reason why the program put it there, and how to read it ( I used F3 key in Total Commander to View it).

You should be sble to open it in any text editor or with your email program. It's just a text file.

Either smtp is set up improperly, you have the mailserver configured improperly in wwf, or your isp is blocking traffic from port 25 to prevent zombie spam relays.

This link will show you how to use telnet to test your localhost mail server...
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;286421

If it fails, you need to review your smtp installation check services and make sure smtp is running - not just installed,

If smtp is running but the email doesn't get to the destination you entered, your isp is likly to have blocked port 25 traffic. If you're on cable in the US, it's a good bet that the port is blocked. SBC dsl also blocks port 25 and I believe most of the other telco's block it as well. Some will unblock it for you upon request. With others, you might be able to get away with it by configuring your smtp server and the cdosys component in WWF to use port 2525 instead

If your smtp server tests ok, verify your smtp server settings in  WWF admin. Use localhost for the smtp server. If that doesn't work, try 127.0.0.1
If you had tried sending before using your web or isp email adress, the mail probably failed because it needed authetication (login/password) for your email - like what you'd use in outlook. WWF 7.x doesn't include authentication out of the box but a search of the forums for cdosys authetication will uncover examples from people who added it for cdosys.
