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?

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.
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=286430

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.

Thanks David. The Small Business Server (SBS) sounds interesting. Will it
allow anyone in the world to send an email, however they send it, and with
whatever they send it with, to SBS such that the whole email gets stored
somewheres, somehow, maybe even into a nice SQL Server database, such that a
Web/IIS/ASP page can then get at the WHOLE email?

Yes. Outlook Web Access, which runs on SBS, proves that it can be done.
OWA is basically an ASP page that fetches the whole email from people that
were sent to that server for a particular user.

You will have to write your own custom software to do what you are asking
since you basically want to write your own version of OWA.

You can write a COM component, that looks in to the
C:\Inetpub\mailroot\Mailbox\*.* directory.
The MailBox directory is used by Windows 2003 if an (IIS) SMTP server is
installed.

CDO can enumerate b.t.w. the mails using the NTFS path. AFter that, you can
have CDO deserialize the mails from disk and that's it. But you don't have a
POP3 reading. You'll have to read the emails and interpretate the FROM and
TO to store them to the right user.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
