how to check if what mail component installed in the server...

any ways aside from calling the arrogant admin....

[joan_0618]

i have trouble with my form to mail in an asp page. i already inquire with my host, they told me theyre using ASPMail.So i tried copying some sample codes using ASPMail but im not convinced with their answer beacuse when ive tried to run the codes i got http error 500 blah!blah! i hate calling them back again because theyre too arrogant for me to bear.im just starting to learn asp and they make me feel intimated.
so i tried using the CDONTS SMTP so i copy codes again to check if it will works. no error was generated by the page. but im wondering i didnt received the email from my sample page. im very sure that the codes are correct and it works.
is there something wrong with the host or the fault is completely mine?
is there a way for me to check if my host have a CDONTS or other mail components installed? any codes? how?

Just try a page that only has this:

Dim objMail
On Error Resume Next
Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("aspmail") 'Don't know the correct string for ASPMail
If Err.Number = 0 Then
Response.Write("ASPMail installed")
Else
Response.Write("ASPMail NOT installed")
End If
Set objMail=Nothing

There are component checking scripts that do this, basically creating every known object and reporting whether an error occured or not.

Look for the one with the biggest text file of component names - sometimes you will be surprised what hosts leave installed :)

thanks aspdaddy for the link...
confirmed that the CDONTS was installed...but still i cant receive form-to-email from my page...

can it be that it has something to do with CHMOD properties? or any properties i have to change on my FTP properties?

thanks in advance to those who will reply...
