CDONTS not working on Win2K Professional

[modfather]

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? A bit of warning: I'm a bit of a newb. I have IIS 5.0 running on my Win2K Professional PC. I have the "Default SMTP Virtual Server" running. I am trying to run the following code:
<%
Set NewMailObj = CreateObject(&quot;CDONTS.NewMail&quot
recipStr = &quot;your@email.com&quot;
NewMailObj.Send &quot;my@email.com&quot;, recipStr, &quot;Check it out!&quot;, &quot;Here's some email for you&quot;
Set NewMailObj = Nothing
%>

When I put this on my web server, it runs great and I get my email. Is it because they have Exchange on that server? When I try to run it from my own workstation:

http://localhost/emailtest.asp,

the email message just sits in the &quot;Queue&quot; directory. Is there something I'm missing? I've left the properties in the SMTP Virtual Server all default. I'm a bit confused... By the way, I get no error messages or anything. My email just sits.

Thanks for any help.

Anyone?

I should clarify the statement &quot;when I put it on my web server, it runs great...&quot; My webserver is a provided by my ISP. When I try to run it on my personal machine, with IIS installed, it doesn't work...

Thanks very much in advance for any help.

I was tried before for CDONTS on my Win2k Prof machine, it works fine also. At first it will queue all the emails but once I connected to the internet, all the emails get sent out and I received them from my own email account (because I sent to myself)

I'm kinda confused as well.

do you have a smtp service installed on your win2K pro?

Like exchange, merak, etc.? &quot;Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!&quot;
