That would be a FAQ:

That depends on the method. See the FAQ above.

Could be you're low on SMTP fluid in your IIS server. Make sure you
don't add "STP" it's a lower grade and only works with three letter
acronyms.

Or maybe that's not it at all. Hard to tell from the extensive
symptoms and error messages you've posted.

Thanks,
the way i understand it, is that i have to install a third party e-mail
software like JMail, but i was wondering, cant i send e mail from my local
IIS without a third party mail? i mean if i uppload my web page to an ASP
host that runs only IIS and no other softwares, how can i send e mails form
that server then??
Am i missing something here? maybe i am asking something very stupid or
basic but i am new to ASP

No - you don't. Did you read the FAQ? Make sure you install the SMTP
service with IIS.

Why are you trying to attach your boot.ini file which is read-only, hidden
and system attributed?

Thanks,
the way i understand it, is that i have to install a third party e-mail
software like JMail, but i was wondering, cant i send e mail from my local
IIS without a third party mail?

Did you actually read the FAQ?

The first two sentences:

"There are several components that enable you to do this. You may
already have one, if you have an SMTP server installed alongside IIS -
it's called CDO.Message."

So, you don't need a third party email component like JMail.
i mean if i uppload my web page to an ASP
host that runs only IIS and no other softwares, how can i send e mails form
that server then??
Via whatever method that host supports.
Am i missing something here? maybe i am asking something very stupid or
basic but i am new to ASP

It's not stupid, but if you're uploading to a host you can't control,
you need to use whatever method that host has available for sending
email. If you can install components, then you can use a third party
component if you wish. Read the FAQ and look at the options listed.

what to do?

Try a sample text file, in the web folder itself. Not a hidden,
read-only file on a drive the IUSR account may not have access to
(shouldn't have at least).

Also, Google for "ASP CDO Attachment" and you'll find examples of
specific code.
