   msg=Request.Form("msg")
   body=body & "First Name:"& firstname & VbCrLf 
  body=body & "Last Name:" & lastname & VbCrLf
  body=body & "Email:" & email & VbCrLf
  body=body & "Confirm Email:" & confirmemail & VbCrLf
  body=body & "Message:" & msg & VbCrLf
  Set mail= Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
  sch = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/"
Set cdoConfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

    In .Item(sch & "smtpserver") = "localhost" the "localhost" should be replaces by the SMTP server of your web host. This normally takes the form of mail.yourhostsname.com but you need to check your hosts FAQs or contact their support to find the actual name. Also if you host required authenication on their SMTP server you will need to add in your SMTP username and password. Again here you should check with your webhost. Cheers.

    You need to know the smtp server of the email server you use.
    for example for yahoo you should use:
    smtp.mail.yahoo.com (port 25)
    smtp.gmail.com (port 465)

    You can also use the SMTP mail server address provided by your local ISP.

    It usually is pretty same like the domain you use plus smtp ahead i.e. smtp.domain.com

    Regards :)
