Email is handled with a totally different protocol (SMTP) than a web page
(HTTP), so no, you cannot "send email to a web server / ASP page" because
we're talking about different protocols.

It is possible for a web server / ASP page to use ANOTHER component to
send/receive email, but that has nothing to do with IIS. Outlook Web Access
does this all the time. You should search for "CDO and ASP"

Example code on how to send an email using ASP.

I also recommend Microsoft Small Business Server 2003, which pretty much
solves this problem. It is trivial to set up, and you can easily
send/receive email over the web and using just a web browser.

Please help,
  Is there a way one can email to a Web Server, and in particular to an ASP
web page running under IIS? What I want to do is have user's anywheres in
the
world create standard "emails" where they get posted to a web server running
IIS/ASP. Is there perhaps a way one can change the email address to somehow
mean HTTP? Or a web server's address?
