If you don't want to use any DLL to send email, I think the only solution would be to make a call from you ASP to an external mail server that would be responsible for the sending of the emails. You could use an HTTP post to accomplish it.
On your server, your code should look like:
Dim url, httpBroker
url = "http://mail.yourdomain/send.asp"
Set httpBroker = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
httpBroker.open "POST", url, false
httpBroker.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
httpBroker.send "[email protected]&body=<html><body>Hello!</body></html>"
Response.write httpBroker.responseText
Set httpBroker = Nothing
On the mail server, send.asp will be responsible to send the email using a DLL installed on the server or CDONTS. This solution would only work if you have another server with the required DLL installed.
Now, if you don't have another server at your disposal, you should have a look at the API of the mail engine installed on your server. If are using Mail Enable, there exists a pickup directory in which emails to send can be dropped for processing. But it all depends on the software you are running.
