Joe,
Thanks for your response. It got me to find the answer.
I thought, great idea - let's see what happens when I run my test CDO
email.
Would it end up in a folder? Would it find a folder to write in? It
worked! The mail was sent and received.
Now... why? Well it turns out that in Vista's IIS7 there is a
configuration
for SMTP e-mail which permits entry of a remote SMTP host and I had
configured our local SMTP server. I evidently did that long before I
learned that SMTP email (local) was not provided in Vista IIS. There is a
checkbox for localhost but I did not experiment with that.
So I've been privately moaning that the capability was removed without
providing an alternative. Turns out there is this alternative which has
not
been mentioned in the articles I've googled - or in the blogs.
For my development, a remote SMTP host is quite adequate since if it fails
for some reason, I will get immediate feedback from the program during my
testing. When I run it on a server in production, it will have the
reliability of a local SMTP service. And there is no change to the
program!
Case closed!
