IIS (Internet Information Server, a Microsoft product) supports ASP. As far as I know IIS only runs on Windows Server. There was a thing called ChiliSoft ASP that ran on Linux, but I’ve never heard of anyone using it successfully in production. If your server offers you ASP and you don’t know explicitly that it is a Windows Server (oxymoron) then don’t enable it and don’t rely on it.
Make sure that you have the CDOSYSMail COM object installed and properly configured to send mail for your domain. Barring that, change the configuration to point to the working mail sender.

Just redoing our website and I’m trying to add a contact form using Formstogo (1&1 - asp only).
I’ve followed the tutorial but when I submit a test, I get this error message:
Thanks for your replies. I spoke to 1&1 (my package is definitely asp only so no php solutions would work, so I’ve been told) and they took a look at the script but reckoned it should work. My broadband is with BT - would that have any bearing on the problem?

Windows servers usually have some mail service configured, and finding out which one that is and what it is called is something you’ll have to discuss with 1&1. The error message said specifically that the mail service wasn’t able (maybe wasn’t allowed) to send mail. Quote them the entire error message and see what they say. I haven’t written any ASP since the late '90s, and I’m not eager to return to its clammy undead embrace.
