problem with sending emails with CDO

[Cas]

Hi,

I run IIS 5.0 on windows 2000 server sp4. This server is connected to the
ISP with adsl modem.
I put ASP code (found on internet) in order to send emails with CDO: (see
below)
When running that page, i get the error: "HTTP 500 - Internal server error
Internet Explorer"
No idea why.
I wonder whether the first 4 lines must be between comments.
Another point: do i need to install SMTP service of my IIS server, or (what
i think) can i use the SMTP service of my ISP?

Thanks
Cas

When running that page, i get the error: "HTTP 500 - Internal server error

No idea why.

Find out what the real error message is.

FAQ:

Why do I get a 500 Internal Server error for all ASP errors?

Provided you have access to send through it, you can use any SMTP
server with CDO. That's what cdoSMTPServer is used for.

You first need to find out what the real error is by turning off "friendly
error messages" in Internet Explorer.

Maybe one more point:
the first four lines are between comments, so how can they be interpreted by
ASP?
Thanks

It's kinda like an include, in a way, but it's "including" a COM type
library instead of a file. ASP looks for the <!-- METADATA "comment."

It's a pre-processing directive, like #include or @language. This specific
directive tells ASP to load the CDO library so the code can use named
constants instead of their numeric equivalents. You can do a similar thing
for ado constants as an alternative to loading the quite hefty adovbs.inc.

Ok, thanks again
