Here's a reference to an URL that explains how to set up SMTP on your server so you can send emails via CDONTS.

Now, under:
 MMC
   >Services And Applications
       >IIS
          >Default SMTP (Select Properties)
              >Delivery Tab
                   >Advanced
                       >Textbox: Smart Host: mail.somedomain.com (PROBLEM HERE. See below)

QUESTION: I do not have a domain name on my test server. Can I set "Smart Host" to "mail.127.0.0.1" instead? I tried, it didnt work.

Thanks.

I thought you didn't need to specifie a smtp server for CDONTS, but try 127.0.0.1 on its own or 127.0.0.1:25 if the worst comes to the worst feel free to use mine at 213.106.<edited> relaying is set up so it should be fine.

(if you are going to use it can you let me know please)

Maybe not a good idea to advertise your open SMTP server address, spammers will be jumping on that and before you know it you'll be relaying on 1,000's of emails an hour.
