CDONTS is Collaboration Data Objects for NT Server, and is used for messaging (specifically sending and receiving messages) and must run on an NT Server. It a common email component used in ASP.

To use it, you must first have it installed on your server. As an example, you could use it in the following way to send an email from an ASP:

<%@ language=&quot;vbscript&quot;%>

<% Option Explicit

Dim objCDOMail

'Initialise CDONTS object
set objCDOMail = Server.CreateObject(&quot;CDONTS.NewMail&quot

objCDOMail.From = &quot;from address&quot;
objCDOMail.To = &quot;to address&quot;
objCDOMail.Subject = &quot;subject&quot;
objCDOMail.Body = &quot;body text&quot;

'Send mail
objCDOMail.Send

'Remove object assignment
set objCDOMail = Nothing
%>

Hope that clears it up for you. You could also check out the Microsoft support website (

as they'll have documentation on it.
