SMTP Virtual server failing

[Andy]

I have IIS 5.0 Based Application which needs to
send emails from application. It is failing
and this is the exact error giving:

mail failed: Could not access 'CDO.Message' object. SMTP
may not be installed or enabled on this machine.

If anyone has any inputs or knows I will really appreciate
it. This is win2k server

Add/Remove Windows Components (under Add/Remove Programs)

Select "Internet Information Services" (presumably it is already checked
meaning that some of it has already been installed). Click Details. Is
the SMTP service installed (i.e., checked)? In the Services MMC, is the
SMTP Service already running (i.e., not stopped) and is it configured
for Automatic load on Windows startup?

I don't know if this addresses your problem. My quick reply is simply,
"Is the SMTP Service really there?" I'm looking on a Windows XP Pro
host so the procedure could be different on Windows 2000 Server (don't
have one to look at right now).
