1. You cannot use Outlook components form an ASP application. Outlook is
only good for windows client applications. So, CDONTS might be your
choice.
2. CDONTS doesn't support this features. CDONTS can only submit a
message to a locally running Microsoft IIS4/5 SMTP Service without
authentication.
3. If you can run your own SMTP server, why not doing it. If you can't
and need to use one provided by your ISP you can't use CDONTS.
Having said all that, consider to use CDOSYS (CDO for Windows 2000). It
ships with Windows 2000/XP/.NET Server and has the ability to send SMTP
mails to remote servers with authentication.

Dear Lisa
This is my experience when made "mail to" facility on my website.
I'm running IIS 5 on W2K, with SMTP service activated.
I installed JMail component and used it to send email from my machine.
To connect to SMTP server i used script like this :
Set JMail = Server.CreateObject("JMail.SMTPMail")
' This is my local SMTP server
JMail.ServerAddress = "10.1.86.5"
for further information you can look at:
jmail website
alexander haneng website
sorry a forget the URL
regards
farid
