Sending e-mail with CDOSYS
CDO (Collaboration Data Objects) is a Microsoft technology that is designed to simplify the creation of messaging applications.
CDOSYS is a built-in component in ASP. We will show you how to use this component to send e-mail with ASP.
How about CDONTs?
Microsoft has discontinued the use of CDONTs on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003. If you have used CDONTs in your ASP applications, you should update the code and use the new CDO technology.
