CDO error: The "SendUsing" configuration value is invalid

Hi,
I normally use the Jmail component in ASP to send emails server side.
I am moving on a server which doesn't have the Jmail components so i am
trying to use CDO but I am getting an error:

Here is my script, this is coming from a sample script:

Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objMessage.Subject = "Example CDO Message"
objMessage.From = "info@xxxxx.com"
objMessage.To = "info@yyy.com"
objMessage.TextBody = "This is some sample message text."
objMessage.Send

And here is the error:

CDO.Message.1 error '80040220'

The "SendUsing" configuration value is invalid.

/sendmail.asp, line 10

I read on forums that the CDO needed to be enabled on the server but
looking at the error message it seems more like a configuration
problem, Can any one assist??

Got it working, there is some configuration required on a remote server (this script in in JS):

Code:

var myMail=Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
myMail.Subject="Sending email with CDO"
myMail.From="xxx"
myMail.To="xxxxx"
myMail.HTMLBody="<p>This is my HTML message.</p>"
myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")=2
//Name or IP of remote SMTP server
myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver")="xxxx"
//Server port
myMail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport")=25 
myMail.Configuration.Fields.Update();
myMail.Send();

What was the missing configuration? Allow open relay from the ASP server?
