Go to the mailroot sub directory in your inetpub directory. check out what's in the folders under mailroot. May get some clues. Also check your error logs.
Use localhost as your smtp server.
Also check your services and make sure iis and smtp are running.
To test if smtp is running properly...
Copy the following 4 lines into a .txt file:
Change the email addresses to something you can check.
Copy the text file (not a shortcut) to the smtp pickup directory. On my XP machine, it's C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Pickup
Within a few seconds it should disappear from the directory and be mailed to the addresses.

In ASP you will have to install a DLL unless you decide to use CDONTS or CDOSYS which in most cases will already be installed

to get the emails in your inbox, you will need a POP/IMAP server. this
can either be on a server on your network or your local machine (Not
featured in Win XP), or you will have to set your SMTP server up to
send emails to the world, which I have no idea of how to do

kobubu did you just want to send email and test it by sending it to the address you use in outlook to get mail?

kobubu,
in order to send a email from an asp application on your own computer
you need 2 things. A specialized dll, like CDONTS and CDOSYS. Windows
XP comes by default with CDOSYS. You can find somewhere on the net a
copy of cdonts.dll, which you can register in systems32 folder. On
www.aspin.com and on other sites you could find thousands of tutorials
on how to send mail with both of them.
The other thing you need is the SMTP server. Here, you have to choices.
Use the default IIS SMTP server (which I think must be installed
separately, but not very sure). You know you have it installed if when
clicking in IIS on the local server you have their "Default SMTP
Virtual Server". It configures itself, and you don't need to change
anything in its settings, unless you know what you are doing.
The other choice is to use a specialized software. There are plenty of
them, free. In this case, you must uninstall the IIS's SMTP server
first. Most of them configures themselves without any aid from you. I
have used in the past MailEnable, PostCast Server. I recommend MailEnable, which is a full mail server (including POP3).
If you want to be able to run your own mail server, and send and
receive mail without an ASP script, than you need a software to do
that, and MailEnable might be your choice.
