You're going to build a mail app with ASP? Oh boy, are you in for a bad
surprise. It took me weeks to figure out how to send mail using ASP. One
difficulty was that the ASP server and the mail server were two different
machines.

In that case you are better off using PHP's Sendmail functionality.

Either way, make sure you read up on header injection to prevent anyone
from using your mail app as a spamming device.
