I couldn't find anything wrong with your script so I tested it on my webserver and it work without a problem... I'm guessing you either don't have the CDONTS DLL installed (If your running an XP machine this is most likely the cause. Microsoft stopped including it after Win 2000) or your IIS SMTP isn't setup. Open c:\inetpub\mailroot\queue (or wherever your mailroot directory is) and if there are emails sitting in the queue folder your problem is most likely that IIS isnt connecting to an SMTP server... If this is the case you need an SMTP server address. Once you have aquired this little tidbit of information open IIS. Right click on Default SMTP Virtual Server - Open Properties - Go to the delivery tab - Click on advanced - In the smart host box enter the SMTP address and you should be in business... If this doesn't work there are a couple of other things you could try... Hope this works,
Cheers

did your script throw up any error?

i guess the problem is that it didnt throw up an error but still didnt send the mail.

if it is so check whether the system that hosts IIS is connected to the net...

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

SwapSawe,

FYI
There is a webcast at MS that may help clarify CDONTS.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;813664

Also, assumes your running NT. If your running Win2000 or XP you might want to look at CDOSYS... But be advised the format/syntax is slightly different.
