It doesnt always install for some reason. I think the file is just cdonts.dll you can search for that. If it is there try unregistering and reregistering it.

you have to have your SMTP service running and configured as well (I don't think there is too much to configuring it)

Now that I think about it, I was trying to use a smart host to connect to the corporate exchange server, that must be what I was thinking of as far as configuration goes.....

You're right then jdavidson, no initial configuration needed, thanks for the clarification
