ASP CDONTS Error

I recently had to rebuild my web server. My CDONTS was working perfectly before, but now I get an error when I attempt to send...

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'

Server.CreateObject Failed

/TonerSafety/maintenance/email_notification3.asp, line 60

Invalid class string

Line 60 on my email_notification3.asp page reads:

Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

I understand that the CreateObject failed, but can anyone help me determine what I need to install, or set, or whatever in order to get it working again? I have been to the Microsoft website, but the articles I found were less than helpufl.

I would really appreciate ANY help with this...

Thanks,

Tammi

Is the cdonts.dll on your machine?

Is it registered?

I searched my server and that dll is nowhere on that machine. I did a search on Microsoft and it said something about reinstalling Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. I tried that and I still get the same error. How can I get that dll so that I can register it on my machine?

Thanks so much,

Tammi

I found an article at 4guysfromrolla.com that stated SMTP service needed to be installed from the NT Option pack. That did the trick! Thanks for the help...

You need to download cdonts.dll and install in windows , system32
Then start run and type in
regsvr32 C:\windows\SYSTEM32\cdonts.dll

I will try to attach cdonts.dll here and follow above instructions I just went through this the other day and works great now

good luck

Oh well will not let me attach dll email me and I will email it to you if you can not find it on the net...................

I had the same problem....got a copy of the dll from an older version of NT...Thanks! :)

I have a win2000 proffesional with no Exchange installed but with IIS5.0.
I have cdonts.dll version 6.0.3940.15 and cdosys.dll version 6.1.3940.29.

I cannot send any mail from asp. It gives me no error when I am trying to create server and send, but it does not send the email.

The smtp server is installed, the cdonts.dll is registered.

Do you have any idea why?
