liebrands's solution required that you have an SMTP server setup inside of IIS - this is not a band thing, it's just one alternative.
i prefer to use JMail from Dimac. http://tech.dimac.net - it's a free email component that i find easier to use than CDONTS, and more powerful as well.
that's just my opinion. alot of people use CDO and CDONTS - it works great. i just prefer JMail.

If you are running IIS5 on W2K you don't even need an SMTP server, just the SMTP Service...
hi lentzi,
i just want to make sure... have you registered the persits mail component or dll on your web server? this is achieved by running windows' regsvr32 and passing to it as a parameter the absolute pathname of the dll. if yes, try rebooting your server if you also haven't done this.
anyway, your invalid progid error just says that our asp engine could not find the persits.mailsender programmatic id in the registry.

Its pretty straight forward... do the following:
<%
set oMail = server.createobject("CDONT
oMail.from = "from@email.com"
oMail.to = "to@email.com"
oMail.subject = "The subject line"
oMail.Body = "The body of the email"
oMail.Send
%>
