Dangit, another all-nighter...
I got MS-SMTP and iMail6/7 working together. The secret, apparently, is the
FrontPage Extensions. In IIS5 (Win2000), change the Outgoing port of the
built-in SMTP server to something other than 25 (I used 5555) by clicking
the Advanced button on the General tab - and make sure it's actually
running. Then add the FPextensions to the site in which you want to be able
to use the CDONTS object. As long as you enter a valid email address and
SMTP server when the wizard asks for it, CDONTS will work perfectly :) If
you already have FPextensions installed on the site in question, go to the
Properties page, Server Extensions tab, Settings button next to "Specify how
mail should be sent," and slap some valid info in here.
Voila :) Hope it works for ya.
