ASPmail

Since 2000, I have built a web site for a client in ASP, using CDO mail.
All has been well, and I have getting extension projects from them <g>

But while I was away on the holiday over Christmas, the "IT dept." has
decided to rationalise all the web servers (ok)... and standardise on one
mail component (ok)... and they have chosen and bought ASPmail (huh?)
without consultation with me. This will break a lot of my code (syntax is
very different)... and a junior in-house developer has been assigned the
task of making my site work with the changes. he is struggling, not knowing
my application very well, and it will take him a lot of time....

Hmmm....Is this a bid for *control* by the pointy-heads.. or does ASPmail
really have some good stuff going for it?

I have never used it but by all accounts ASPMail is quite a good mail
component. You would be forced to change your CDO code sooner or later as it
is not supported on Windows 2003 server.
