sendmail.asp

I am trying to set up the forums and have a few questions.

I am running this on win2003 server which is also an exchange 2003 server.

when a user registers when the sendmail.asp function tries to send the mail this is returned to the user

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 8007007e'

Server.CreateObject Failed

/thearea/forum/functions/functions_send_mail.asp, line 154

8007007e

so obviously i have not configured the sendmail.asp function correctly for cdonts.

Does anyone know if cdonts is active by default on win2003 and if not how can i check or set it up.

The ohter issue is that once i get this working , what do i have to change to have the email contain the correct url back to the activate

function

Any help is greatly appreciated.
