SYMPTOMS

When you use the CreateObject function to create an instance of the CDONTS.NewMail object, from an Active Server Pages (ASP) page with Anonymous permissions set up, the following error message occurs:
error '8002801d'
Library not registered
Note that if the ASP page is set up to use basic authentication, and you use the administrator account to log on, then the CDONTS.NewMail object is successfully created.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the everyone account does not have read permissions for the type library settings for the Collaboration Data Object for Windows NT Server (CDONTS) object in the registry.

This behavior is by design.
