SMTP "HE" double toothpicks

[James Bertino]

Well, I wrote this neat little website. I need it to send email to the
registrers but I can't seem to get SMTP to play nice on my Win 2k Server
box. It resides in my Domain as a secondary Domain master. The Domain Master
computer is a Win 2k Advanced server with Exchange Server. I was thinking
that if I can't install SMPT (to use CDONTS) on the www box then perhaps I
could "tap" into my Exchange box. Is it feasable and how do I do it, or
should I go another route and backup the network, install Win2003 Server on
the Domain server and install 2003 Web server on the web server?

Any suggestions would be appreciated,

Jay


P.S. -- I am using Frontpage 2003 to create all of my ASP (not ASPX) web
application.

This has nothing to do with fontpage.

Is STMP enabled on the computer you ahave the web site? Can you send
mail throught the SMPT service? If using exchange, does the IIS avvount
have the rgiht permissions and seendingd?

You can install and run CDONTS if you want to. (It just doesn't com with
the Win 2003 server, or XP bevayse it's derpacate in favor of the CDO).
Get it from win2000 or NT.

This is not a description of a problem. It is a characterization of a
problem. Please describe the problem fully, and we can help. For example, if
you told your Doctor "I don't feel well," how much would he know about what
is wrong with you? He would ask you to describe your symptoms in detail
first.

This is superfluous information, and doesn't describe the problem either.
Unless one knows what the problem is, and what is causing it, proposing
solutions is an exercise in futility.
