Sending email in ASP using Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bits & IIS 7?

I recently discovered that there seems to be no way to send ASP email
messages from a site in IIS 7 when hosted in Windows Vista Ultimate 64-
bits because there is no SMTP server included with the OS. The funny
thing is that even when installing a third party SMTP server, like
ArgoSoft Mail Server Pro, IIS 7 still refuses to let go the emails.
CDO componet seems to be working fine (and of course CDONTS doesn't
work with this platform) but there seems to be a communication
(configuration?) layer missing between IIS and third party SMTP's.
Has any of you solved this or know about a SMTP server that *really*
works to do this task without resorting to downgrading to XP SP2,
switching to Linux or waiting for Windows Server 2008?
Thanks

I'm afraid i don't understand. If CDO works fine, what communication layer
is missing? As far as i know you can connect to any SMTP server (local or
remote) with CDO.

Or so I thought... But I've been looking for samples to compare my
code against snippets and none produces the expected result. My SMTP
is working as it sends and receives emails; my web server is working
as I can see pages and interact with a database via web... But as long
it involves ending a simple email from ASP code, the whole setup is
useless. Changing some parameters in the schema I can obtain two
errors: transport layer or pickup folder.

I'll reinstall Windows and see if the condition remains. Thanks.
