404 & 405 errors on submit (ASP)

Hi,
I've sucessfully used UEmail on php sites - works a treat. However when testing on two different windows sites I'm getting:
The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) was used to attempt access.

Please try the following:

Contact the Web site administrator if you believe that this request should be allowed.
Make sure that the Web site address displayed in the address bar of your browser is spelled and formatted correctly.

HTTP Error 405 - The HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

Technical Information (for support personnel)

Go to Microsoft Product Support Services and perform a title search for the words HTTP and 405.
Open IIS Help, which is accessible in IIS Manager (inetmgr), and search for topics titled Setting Application Mappings, Securing Your Site with Web Site Permissions, and About Custom Error Messages.
OR:
The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Please try the following:

Make sure that the Web site address displayed in the address bar of your browser is spelled and formatted correctly.
If you reached this page by clicking a link, contact the Web site administrator to alert them that the link is incorrectly formatted.
Click the Back button to try another link.

HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found.

Technical Information (for support personnel)

Go to Microsoft Product Support Services and perform a title search for the words HTTP and 404.
Open IIS Help, which is accessible in IIS Manager (inetmgr), and search for topics titled Web Site Setup, Common Administrative Tasks, and About Custom Error Messages.

I'm using ASPMail on VBScript and believe it's related to the page redirect - Any experience of this?

The first error:
HTTP Error 405 - The HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed.


means that the server is configured to reject form posts.


when you submit the UE Form, it sending a form Post to the server, the server is responding to the POST verb and saying it is not allowed. you will need to contact the host to have the server configured to allow the POST form method.

the second message:
HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found.

is saying that the redirect goes to a page that does not exist on the server.
