In this article, we will use CDO instead of CDONTS. CDO comes within windows XP and windows 2000/3 and has more control over mailing system. Following asp source contains a simple webform and client side validation that controls unvalid characters. Web form uses CDO to deliver form results to your email account.

To use the sample code all you need to change "YOUR_MAIL_SERVER" and "YOUR_EMAIL" variables in the code.
