Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'

[Guest_imported]

Hi everyone!! I am running a script to send email right? and the line that is giving me trouble is this:
----------------------------------------------

Set oMailMessage = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail&quot

------------------------------------------------
the error i am getting is this:

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'

Server.CreateObject Failed

/csv/mail2.asp, line 4

Invalid class string

------------------------------------------------------
NOw, this appears to be a common problem that people run into and i think it has something to do with a DLL not installed correctly.

The SMTP server is running... b/c our frontpage forms are mailing...

Here is the dilemma. I do not have access to the server directly, i have to go through an IT guy who know NOTHING about IIS4.

What do i tell him to do specifically? actually i will probably have to look over his shoulder and tell him what to do...

can anyone help me? im trying to bring our Intranet up to speed, but its one roadblock after another!!!

thanks!!!

In IIS4, there is SMTP. Ask him to check if the SMTP has the right mail domain (serverThatRunIIS4.yourDomain.com)

It might solve your prob.

The other thing is to make sure your domain is not running in (I think it is called) protected memory or something like that.

I am now using Apache server, but I can recall that under IIS there was a way of isolating a domain - doing that cause a problem for me with cdont. Steve Davis

Might be able to help you out here...
Are you sure its "CDONTS.NewMail"?
What's the name of the .dll, and are you sure that frontpage is using the same .dll?
