Although, the component will run on Windows XP, Microsoft has decided to remove the component from IIS 5.1 on Windows XP, so you will have to track down a copy of the cdonts.dll and register it on the IIS web server.
To use this component to send an e-mail, you also need the SMTP Server that ships with IIS 4 or 5 installed on the web server. The SMTP server is usually installed by default with the standard IIS installation.
Sample code:
- <%
- Dim objCDOMail
- Set objCDOMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
- objCDOMail.From = "[email protected]"
- objCDOMail.To = "[email protected]"
- objCDOMail.Cc = "[email protected]"
- objCDOMail.Bcc = "[email protected]"
- objCDOMail.Subject = "Subject"
- objCDOMail.BodyFormat = 0
- objCDOMail.MailFormat = 0
- objCDOMail.Body = "MailBody"
- objCDOMail.Importance = 1
- objCDOMail.Send
- Set objCDOMail = Nothing
- %>
