How do I find out IF an email was sent using ASP?

Hello all..

Is there anyway to tell, if an email, sent via an ASP page, WAS sent?

That is, it's not being received at the TO: address...yet I can't find out how to tell using Mailenable (which is my mail app) on the server.

Can someone provide a "pointer" - or, when you use ASP to send an email does it "bypass" the mail app?

Just don't know!

Add a custom header programatically thru the ASP code? See what program/api created the email (found in header info)? Not really sure...

Use a special "from" address, something like "aspcode@yourdomain.com" or some such. As long as you're authenticating to send (or if your web server is the same as your mail server, you could have relay allowed for 127.0.0.1) then ME will still accept it.

Then you can just look through the logs for that address to see what happened to the message.
