ASP Mailer?

[Chunkee]

I am new to developing, and I am working on my website. I have a couple of forms that I want submitted, however, I dont want to use the persons email control. I am hosting my own website and am running win2k server, soon to be upgraded to 2003 server...I have been looking around and found ASP mailer and Formail. I have been reading the "Read me files" and am a little sketchy on what to do and where to publish what.

What I am asking is, is there a new or better method of sending an html or plain text email from my server? Is there a place that gives step by step instructions? Or could someone here graciously help me out with this? I want it to be safe and secure and would like to have it customized a bit with a graphical header from my company.

I appreciate the time and wisdom.

Thanks

John C

you can use cdonts.dll in asp - its already installed, but you have to set up IIS to run SMTP. If you don't want to do that or can't, then I recommend aspemail link from persits software. for that you set it up to point to an existing smtp server which can be on any machine as long as you have permissions for it
