Does IIS have some type of program that can send mail? I am trying to have a form email to me using something like snedmail. I have tried to use some CGI scripts but most of the examples that I have found refer to the program sendmail. I know that sendmail is a UNIX/Linux program. Does Windows2000 or IIS 5.0 come with something like this and how do I use it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
Alex

Here's a TechNet article on how to create an ASP to mail forms. It uses Collaboration Data Objects for Windows NT Server (CDONTS). It works with Windows NT and 2000.

Good luck.

To Use CDONTS, you need to have the Option pack installed and the SMTP service running. If you do then you can use the mail() function in PHP to mail stuff out. There are loads of PHP scripts on the web that will accept stuff from a form and post that out.

Good Luck,
