I usually just rig the form up for the server and don't even look at it
locally. I see there's a mail-root in iis but you'd be best off asking
about the mail server in the IIS newsgroup.
You really don't need a parallel universe on both your local computer and
the server. (IMHO)

unless you're building some kind of app, I'd just deal with it on the server

CDOSYS/ is the replacement so I guess it's the way to go.

http://asp101.com has good examples to get you a quick form or two, there
are more if you search.

Why pull your hair out. Unless you intend to really get into all the ins
and outs of running a server it's hard to justify the time you'll spend
creating this paralell.
