Mail component for free commercial distribution?

I am currently in the design/alpha stages of building a web-based system for my own interests. I want the entire web application to have the ability of being installed on an IIS web server and be up and running with just some editing of a configuration file.

Throughout the system, there are places where an option to send an e-mail would be handy. But just relying on a web user's e-mail client to be enabled and configured correctly is pretty amateur, so I've been looking for a suitable COM mail component that can be installed on the server (when the web application is installed) for a seamless and professional (etc, etc) look.

Because I want the system to be up and running with little need for re-configuration, I've looked over CDONTS and I'm looking into a suitable COM component.

Now, I've used e-mail components within ASP before, but a bit of research has shown that commercially-distributable e-mail components are extremely costly.

I'm only looking for the most basic of features.

Thanks in advance for any advice! :)

Peace.
