I was wondering if there is a standard way of sending email from an ASP. I
was trying to automate Outlook but I don't like the idea because it is an
out of process call. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

You could use ASP components to connect or send messages to your SMTP or MS
Exchange server. http://www.15seconds.com/component/free.htm has some ASP
components for email.

The Personalization server has an smtp mailer component. However, a much
better one is ASPMail available from www.serverobjects.com. We use both
and have found Microsoft's to be significantly faster, but ASPMail to be
much more flexible.

If you want real functionality, try the ABMailer ASP add-in.

It's freeware and it's good !!!!

Have a look at: http://207.141.47.107/aspfaq/email.asp It uses CDONTS, a
component that is included in IIS 4.0.

Hope This Helps.

If you want even more functionality leave ABMailer (it doesn't handle
attachments, though I like it Andy) and give Persits Softwares new AspEmail
component a go from www.persits.com ... It is completely free and handles
attachments too... The same as ASPMail which I use... without the cost :)

Are you trying to send from a web page? If so this will work using
CDONTS:

<%
Dim myCDO
Set myCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
dim myfrom
dim myto
dim mysubject
dim mybody
myfrom=request.form("from")
myto=request.form("to")
mysubject=request.form("subject")
mybody=request.form("body")
myCDO.Send myfrom, myto, mysubject, mybody
Set myCDO = nothing
response.write "<H1>Thank you. Your message has been sent to " + myto
+ ".</h1>"
%>

Save the above to an asp file and set it as the action using POST from
the HTML form. from, to, subject, and body should be the names of the
text boxes on the form.

Disclaimer: I am still very new at this, so there may be a better way
to do it. I don't have direct access to my server (I used a provider)
so installing 3rd party components isn't easy. I've also been having
difficulty with my news server, so I apologise if this has already
been posted...
