Hi,
I want to write email application(just sending emails) in asp, for that i m using cdosys,
I want to know whether my smtp(virtual server) is running fine or not, but i dont know how to do that, well in IIS it is running. but don't know how to test it.
Further, when i write an email code given below, it dosen't show me error but I do not receive any mail too.
The address where i am sending mail is on different mail server,

Please help me out..
<%
Dim ObjSendMail
Dim iConf
Dim Flds

Set ObjSendMail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
Set Flds = iConf.Fields

Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 1

'**** Path below may need to be changed if it is not correct
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverpickupdirectory") = "c:\inetpub\mailroot\pickup"
Flds.Update

Set ObjSendMail.Configuration = iConf
ObjSendMail.To = "[email protected]"
ObjSendMail.Subject = "this is the subject"
ObjSendMail.From = "[email protected]"

' we are sending a text email.. simply switch the comments around to send an html email instead
'ObjSendMail.HTMLBody = "this is the body"
ObjSendMail.TextBody = "this is the body"

ObjSendMail.Send

Set ObjSendMail = Nothing
%>

Simpler way is to telnet the computer (that is supposed to run smtp service) on port 25 using command prompt. If you are connected then smtp is running fine. Else you can either check that from "Manage" option of "My computer", and expand the "services and applications" and see if the SMTP server is not stopped. Alternatively from the "services" console, see if "Simple Mail Transfer Protocol" service is running.

Also check queue or badmail kind of folders under c:\inetpub\mailroot\ if it contains the mail that you tried sending.

Hope that helps.
