How can I make it so the shopping cart sends all mail thru the mail server SMTP/mail.domain.com? This way if the recipient e-mail server is down, my mail server can make 2 or 3 other later attempts...increased likelihood of customer getting e-mail instead of a one-shot deal!

Thanks!

If you're running Windows 2000 SP4 or Windows 2003 server, then you can make SalesCart CDOSYS compatible. Take a look here: http://support.salescart.com/kb/KB-details.asp?key=5316 - http://support.salescart.com/kb/KB-details.asp?key=5316

Excellent! I'll give it a try.

Did some more searching and found # 5403. Since you'd be using CDOSYS now, you should be able to send out HTML e-mails.

To accomplish this, would I simply cut-n-paste the <html> code from Frontpage to the mail.txt text file to get HTML (after following the procedures in #5403)?

If so, this would conclude that I'd be able to create a table structure for the receipt showing purchased items in an easier to read layout. This is great!!!

Right, CDOSYS will allow the HTML tags. In fact in our .NET product we've included this already.
