By default, Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 with the Windows NT Option Pack (NTOP) and Microsoft Windows 2000 install a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service that can be used for a variety of purposes. One of the more common uses is Active Server Pages (ASP) for e-mail-based HTML form handling. This step-by-step article describes how to create scheduled mail-outs by using Windows Script Host (WSH) and the e-mail features of the SMTP service CDONTS.NewMail object. The example shows how to create a text file that you can update for the e-mail message contents, a WSH script to send an e-mail message, and a scheduled task to schedule the e-mail message to be sent.
