Question/Problem: Using CDONTS to send mail from ASP pages.

Answer/Solution: The CDONTS component requires the Microsoft SMTP service
which is included with IIS. To avoid conflicts when activating Microsoft
SMTP service on the same server as IMail, configure Microsoft SMTP to
monitor a different incoming port:

1. start Microsoft Internet Services Manager (MMC) and open the Properties
for the Microsoft SMTP service
2. on the "General" tab, click the "Advanced" button next to the IP address
and set the TCP port to any unused port, e.g. 26 or 2525
3. on the "Access" tab, verify that the "Relay" list includes the IP
address(es) of the virtual web servers.

The outgoing port should remain as 25.

After this change, all incoming mail will be processed by IMail, while
either service will be able to deliver outbound mail.

To avoid using Microsoft SMTP services, there are a number of third party
components, such as OCXmail, ASPmail, Jmail.

Here is some customer experience running both MS SMTP and IMAIL 6.06 on a
Win2000 server:
The setup is a little different. Once you have it installed select
properties for the SMTP service from the IIS MMC. On the General tab select
advanced and on the next screen choose edit to set the incoming port to
something other than 25. Select General->Connection and verify that the
outgoing port is set to 25. Select Delivery->Advanced and enter the fqdn
(fully qualified domain name) in the appropriate field.

I had to change the name of the server so that it was the same as the fqdn.

Secondly, I had to run MS DNS service as a cache only DNS server. I assumed
that the SMTP server would get its DNS from the general DNS settings for the
server's connection. That apparently is not true if IMAIL is installed.
Once I made these changes both IMAIL and MS SMTP get along just fine.
