IIS 4.0 and above has a very useful server object: CDONTS. Using this it is possible to send e-mails from your ASP code (VBScript) very easily. Here you have an example of how to do this.

The Object (CDONTS.NewMail) has several properties and methods that you must know:

.From E-mail address of the sender
.To E-mail address of the recipient
.CC CC recipient e-mail address
.Subject Subject of the message
.Importance Importance of the message:
0=Low
1=Normal (default) 2=High
.BodyFormat Format of the message
0=Text (default)
1=HTML
.Value(Name) New header
.Body Body of the message
.AttachFile Attaches a file (it is needed to indicate the real path,
not the web path of the file)
.Send Calling this method the message is sent
