But you have not specified, what on OS is your webserver hosted, and other details.

Not sure what component you are using to send out mails. IF any already in place then, you should edit the code on the FEEDBACK form page, and add your email address to the TO field, so that anytime the feedback form is filled and submitted, you are notified.

If Mailing code is not in place already, you may take a look at CDONTs code samples and code accordingly. CDONTS can be used only with MS Windows OS and IIS hosting your webserver and SMTP installed on it.

Hope that helps
Cheers!

Hi Ali,

You can edit the ASP page that has the mailing code in it(if any) and just add your email id to the TO proporty of the mail object.

If Mailing feature is not in place, you can go through this URL
NewMail Object (CDONTS Library) - You can expand the NewMail Object (CDONTS Library) on the left-hand-side and read all the sub links there.

Eg:

Code:

Dim myMail
Set myMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
myMail.From = "user2@example.com"
myMail.To = "user@example.com"
myMail.Subject = "Sample Message"
myMail.Body = "This is a sample message."
myMail.AttachFile "d:\sample.txt"
myMail.Send
Set myMail = Nothing

But for this to work you should have SMTP setup on the system that runs IIS. You can check that from the services console if SMTP is already installed and running. Else, got to install.

Hope that helps.
Cheers!
