If u need only send emails and your host software runs under Win NT / 2000 try to use CDONTS object. On IIS is installed by default. Installaing other objects is a problem 'cause u've to declare (install) into system registry. By remote is impossible... I don't care that your hosting provider will do it 4 u... so try CDONTS
replace "mailto.exe" with a page called, 4 eg., "mailto.asp". Use CDONTS to send mail then display a message like "Your request has been sent.", then, after 3 sec. redirect (using a meta like in Snitz) the user to another page.
Many thanks for your reply to our ASPCart dilemma using the mailto.exe.
It is heartening to know that there are those who will help when the 'siren' screams even though there is no gain other than the satisfaction of helping someone and all that goes with that.
We did finally hear back from GCIS who wrote the great program telling us we could use any mail program we wished as long as the permissions were correct. Others like yourself gave great suggestions which we were following through on when suddenly our new host server provided some ASPMail code for us and we are on the way.
