If ASP is working for some, then it works for all. Though the Page
Not Found could be an issue with the code in the page, the location of
the page, or simply the response page *after* the mail is sent, so I'm
not sure it really means your problem is there. You'll need to look
at the IIS logs to see what specific page wasn't found.
There are many things that can be wrong, but to verify your SMTP
settings see:

For other errors, you'll need to debug the code. Try posting the code
to an ASP group for help there.
