As far as I know, Exchange uses the smtp service that comes with windows... so there is no version difference between Windows SMTP and EXchange SMTP..
Here is a coding excerpt from MSDN that I always use to connect to A mailserver directly, in stead of going through the local smtp service.
Dim iConf as new CDO.Configurati on
Dim Flds as ADODB.Field
Set Flds = iConf.Fields
' The full field name strings are used below to illustrate this process.
' The CDO for Windows 2000 type library contains string Modules
' that provide these values as named constants.
' Use these module constants to avoid typos and so on.
Flds("http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "fakesmtp.micro soft.com"
Flds("http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport" ) = 25
Flds("http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = cdoSendUsingPor t ' CdoSendUsing enum value = 2
Flds("http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpaccountname ") = "My Name"
Flds("http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/sendemailaddres s") = """MySelf"" <my****@microso ft.com>"
Flds("http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpuserreplyem ailaddress")= """Another" " <an*****@micros oft.com>"
Flds("http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticat e") = cdoBasic
Flds("http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") = "domain\usernam e"
Flds("http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword") = "password"
Flds.Update
Dim iMsg as new CDO.Message
Set iMsg.Configurat ion = iConf
' ... compose message; add attachments, and so on.
iMsg.Send ' Configuration settings in Config object are used to send the message.

How can I force SmtpMail class to use CDO for Windows 2000 instead of
Exchange 2000. We do not use Exchange at all. I want to do this because I
am having a problem sending email from the web server. If I send part of
the HTML email it will go through. If I send the whole HTML email then it
gets stuck on our email server at corporate with the error:
The message could not be sent to the SMTP server. The transport error code
was 0x800ccc6c. The server response was 452 Filesystem error - message not
accepted.
Our email admin is stumped on why I cannot send the whole email. I think
that it may be a problem with the version of CDO that .NET is using but I am
not sure. Any other ideas? I am at a loss right now on what to try next.
Thank you,
Tom
