DCOM problem sending email out of ASP script
You may need to enable out-of-process components within IIS. Here's a
VBScript that will change your setting. You might want to search the
knowledge base about this, because I believe it creates some security holes
on your web server.
You could use CDONTS to send email from IID if you're running NT Server 4,
but not workstation. Server Objects makes an ASPMail component which is
highly affordable at $40/processor. http://www.serverobjects.com.

----------
' Get the IIsWebVirtualDir Admin Object
Set VDirObj = GetObject("IIS://LocalHost/W3svc")
if vdirObject is nothing then
msgbox "Failed to get object"
end if
' Enable or disable the AspAllowOutOfProcComponents Parameter
VDirObj.Put "AspAllowOutOfProcComponents", True
' Save the changed value to the metabase
VDirObj.SetInfo
