I'm trying to test a VB component which uses CDO, how can I test it from
home without exchange server setup etc..?

TIA

Install the SMTP service which is an optional component of IIS. I think by
default, SMTP is not installed, so go back into your add/remove
programs--add/remove Windows components--select IIS, and view the details.

Thank you. Does this mean I need to setup DNS? SMTP is installed on my
machine, but I can't seem to send messages through CDO. I checked the event
viewer after sending a message and no errors showed up.

No, you should not have to as long as your server is able to find the
Internet, like, it has a dns server entry. What do you mean you "can't"
send messages? Are you getting an error in your code? Are the messages
just being delivered? Are you specifying a .From address? You have to do
that for SMTP to send the message, afaik. Make your own address the from
address so that you'll get the non-delivery reports if the delivery fails
due to relaying restrictions or something like that.
