Has anybody actually configured IIS to send mail? We are converting from Linux to IIS. I need to setup IIS to use its SMTP feature. How do I go about configuring it to send form results via email using its own mail service or how do I get it to workwith our Exchange Server. Any good resources on this topic would be good too. The Resource kit is useless other than telling me it can be done.

Frontpage 2000 will send form results to a specified e-mail address using the form action wizard, it will appear as from webserver@your_domain.com. I prefer to use a program called ASPMail that requires asp scripting to gather form data and format it in an e-mail. Or you can use perl and sendmail.exe (www.sendmail.org). Frontpage is probably the easiest to configure but least functional. ASPMail and sendmail are both functional; but scripting is difficult if you don't know it. I have scripts for ASPMail if you decide to go that route, e-mail me @ daniel@timecubeinc.com if you need help.
