Your using CDONTS, which server are you using this on? I have a Win2K3
server, and these do not come with CDONTS installed, it has CDOSYS
instead. If you want CDONTS you have to find the DLL on the internet and
register it. You also need to make sure that IIS has SMTP setup
correctly too.

<%
' declare variables
Dim EmailFrom
Dim EmailTo
Dim Subject
Dim FirstName
Dim LastName
Dim month
Dim day
Dim year
Dim email

' get posted data into variables
EmailFrom = Trim(Request.Form("email"))
EmailTo = "admin@dropinfitness.com"
Subject = "Every Internet Game Guestlist"
fname = Trim(Request.Form("fname"))
lname = Trim(Request.Form("lname"))
month = Trim(Request.Form("month"))
day = Trim(Request.Form("day"))
year = Trim(Request.Form("year"))
email = Trim(Request.Form("email"))

' prepare email body text
Dim Body
Body = Body & "fname: " & fname & VbCrLf
Body = Body & "lname: " & lname & VbCrLf
Body = Body & "month: " & month & VbCrLf
Body = Body & "day: " & day & VbCrLf
Body = Body & "year: " & year & VbCrLf
Body = Body & "email: " & email & VbCrLf

' send email
Dim mail
Set mail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
mail.To = EmailTo
mail.From = EmailFrom
mail.Subject = Subject
mail.Body = Body
mail.Send

' redirect to success page
Response.Redirect("Thanks.html?" & EmailFrom)
%>

when it redirect to your thanks page, it meant your setting shouldn't have any problems. You are losing the coding part. This should help.

On any new asp server using Cdonts and Microsoft lost their minds with asp.net 2 or 3 and all my Cdonts emails stopped working too. I have always had to CRAM in this code for it to work. Has something to do with asp .net on windows servers I have no clue what it does but it works. This is the code for a normal .asp/cdonts email I use good luck.

<%
sch = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/"
Set cdoConfig = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
With cdoConfig.Fields
.Item(sch & "sendusing") = 2 ' cdoSendUsingPort
.Item(sch & "smtpserver") = "127.0.0.1"
.update
End With

Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set objMail.Configuration = cdoConfig
objMail.From = "youremail@yoursite,com"
objMail.To = "youremail@yoursite,com"
objMail.Cc = "youremail@yoursite,com"
objMail.Subject = "Test test test"
objMail.TextBody = "Hi your name here," & VbCrLf
& "This is a test " &
VbCrLf & VbCrLf
& "more text for the test"

objMail.Send
Set objMail = Nothing
Set cdoConfig = Nothing
Response.Redirect("yourpage.asp")
%>

I am new to this so I'm not sure, but I have heard/read that sometimes e-mail tested on a local server does not actually go through. Are you testing locally or on a remote server?
