Would asking what IIS version be too much?

In W2K/XP open the IIS management console found in Administrative Tools. You set up the IIS SMTP server there.

In the IIS MMC right-click on the Virtual SMTP Server node, open the properties, and set everything as you require. There is online help available.

There may be some articles at www.iisfaq.com

MMC is an abbreviation for Microsoft Management Console. Which is what the IIS management tool is one of. See my first reply to your question.

If you want code to generate an email you need some email component like CDONTS or CDOSYS, and you need a SMTP engine either the IIS SMTP or if your email component allows it, some other SMTP server. I use a component that sends mail from my hosted SMTP server. I don't use CDO, I believe you need to use the server's SMTP server with CDONTS or CDOSYS.

Take it as "YES" you need SMTP (somewhere) to send Internet email from your code.

If you have any specific configuration questions ask. You might look for some basic SMTP tutorials, because if you don't have a good understanding of how Email works you'll have a pretty hard time figuring out how to configure a mail server.
