|  | RE -.1
Microsoft Personalization System adds the ability 
to send mail from ASP. Alternatively, there is 
a 3rd party add-on for this too - I can't remember
the name of it - something like "aspmail". (a web
search should find it). This 3rd party thing wasn't
available for Alpha when I checked. (MS Personalization
System is available for Alpha).

|  |     I've found ASPmail which is only Intel, but I can't get it to work
    on my Workstation with PWS... Instead i found something called
    DAFtools which has a sendmail utility that I did get going, great!
    
    But none of those works on Alpha, and I'd really like to have the
    ability to mail from our Alpha IIS server. I've tried searching 
    Microsoft's web site for the Personalization System, but haven't
    quite found it. Do you have any pointers? Is it free to download?
    Does it mean just ASP and VBscript programmng to use it?

|  | 	There is a program called BLAT which can send SMTP mail that is
  available for both Intel and Alpha.  If you can call that program then you
  can send mail.  It's on the Internet Roadmap CD V2.3 in the shareware area.
  See
http://roadmap.mro.dec.com/RoadmapCD/HTML/SHAREWARE/SHAREWAREINDEX.HTM#Internet
  for details.

|  |     Yes I have BLAT, but then I need to call that from ASP... I've seen
    a utility that calls command line stuff from ASP, but (again) only
    Intel...

|  | The Microsoft Personalization System is a component of 
MCIS (Microsoft Commercial Internet System), and 
Microsoft Site Server, Enterprise Edition. 
There is a trial download version of Site Server from
http://backoffice.microsoft.com/downtrial/site-e.asp
There is, or at least, was, a trial download of just
the Personalization component, but I can't find it
at the moment. (their search engine seems to be playing
up actually). May be Site Server is downloadable
in little pieces - I haven't downloaded it myself.
Yes, it is used with ASP and Vbscript (or any supported
scripting language presumably).
By the way, if all you need is a really simple 
utility to email a form, then consider mailto.exe
at http://www.cio.net/Pages/mailto.htm. It's available for
Alpha too. If you have to use ASP to call it, rather
than having the form post directly to the program,
I don't know how to do that. (mailto.exe sounds
like it might be very similar to blat, I guess).
Greg.
p.s The active server pages newsgroup on microsoft's
news server is littered with people asking how to 
send mail from ASP - maybe Microsoft should start 
supplying this function standard with active server 
pages.

|  | According to a recent article in PC Week, 
IIS 4.0 will include the ASP sendmail function.
(beta of IIS 4.0 due out in June apparently).
