How to add CDO reference in an asp web page

Question

I'm trying to create a new email in asp and send it to a mail server using CDO. I believe I need a reference for CDO or Send Email functionality. In the book it says use this:

Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

Unfortunately that is now working as it errors out in asp. Now sure how to add the reference, or com object so that it will work through iis using asp. The book I'm referring to is: ASP In a nut shell 2nd addition. "The CDO Object Model" I'm using windows xp or windows server 2003.

     Dim iMsg,iConf      
     Set iMsg  = CreateObject("CDO.Message")         
     Set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

     Dim Flds        
     Set Flds = iConf.Fields
