What to use to post forms by email on WIN2k3!

[Joe]

I saw that you can't use Cdont's with Server 2003. I used to post formail to Blat on my old accounts (which were shared hosting elsewhere). What do others use? What is somewhat easy to configure. I have alot of sites that I am migrating over during the next few days that will all need to post forms.
Thanks!!!

If you do not want to alter your code to comply with CDOSYS than
you can simply add the CDONTS file to your win2k3 server and
just register the dll:

Im using the latest version of Blat on mine and its working quite well.

These are the Blat lines I use in formmail.pl:

$mailprog = 'c:\\Blat\\blat.exe';
..
..
..
open(MAIL,"|$mailprog - -s \"$CONFIG{'subject'}\" -t $CONFIG{'recipient'} -from $CONFIG{'email'} -replyto $CONFIG{'email'} -q\n\n");

I had a lot of legacy code written in aspmail which was free once upon a time, but I broke down and purchased the latest- still reasonably priced.

Where did you see that? I use it fine.

You probably want to check out the System.Web.Mail. It's a basically a wrapper to CDONTS.

If you want to only do basic stuff and want a free component, try...
FreeSMTP (http://www.quiksoftcorp.com/freesmtp/)

CDO replaced CDONTS on Windows Server 2003.

Shane,

By golly, You are correct. I must have had it installed. I am using CDONTS for my ASP scripts and it works perfect. I have a Windows 2003 machine. In order to use it, you need to use IIS SMTP and if you are using a mail program like MailEnable, then you can use IIS SMTP on a different port. I migrated all my Sites from Windows 2000 server. Many of them use CDONTS for mail.
