mailform using asp

[voske]

Hi,

I would like to ask a question. Maybe you can help me by telling if it is possible to do or not what I'd like to do and even more by telling how to do it ;-)

I have a site using asp and an access database. I would like to have a 'tell a friend link' where somebody can recommend a book to someone else. The mail should contain title, etc of the book (coming from the form itself or the database), the url of the exact page of the book, the name and e-mail of the sender (through textfields) and if possible some comment. Is that possible without using the clients mailprogram?

I only know about cgi-scripts to do the mailing, but I don't think it is possible to use ASP code in the cgi-script or is it?

Thank you very much for your reply,
greets,
dimitri

I presume you are using IIS as a webserver? In this case you have the SMTP service avaialble in IIS. Using this you can create an instance of the SMTP object from ASP and send mails as you like.
