SMTP virtual server on win xp??

[Charles Rumbold]

Kevin,

Usual cause if SMTP does not allow relay. You have to specifically
enable this through the IIS console.

I send mail from an XP this way - it doesn't seem to make any
difference if DHCP or static addresses used.

BTW - you don't have to use the local SMTP server to send mail from an
ASP page, you can use any SMTP server you can relay through, for
example your company's mail server or ISP server like so:

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "smtp.myisp.com";
SmtpMail.Send( mail );
