This is probably because you have the 64-bit version. You have to put cdonts.dll in the windows\SysWOW64 folder and then run regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cdonts.dll

You will also have to edit the application pool of your site and set "Enable 32-bit Applications" to True.

Someone seems to have successfully installed CDONTS on Windows 2008 x64 on IISLogs.com. I did not try myself though.

Here his procedure :

1. Copy CDONTS.dll from another server to C:\Windows\SysWOW64
2. Run regsvr32 c:\windows\SysWOW64\cdonts.dll
3. Grant the appropriate permissions on C:\inetpub\mailroot\pickup (I granted USERS group Modify permissions). You could get permission denied if the folder security isn't adjusted.
4. I'm assuming you have installed the SMTP Service located in Server Manager > Features > SMTP Server option
5. Make sure when you when you install the SMTP service, you enable Relay for localhost > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS6) > SMTP Virtual Server > Right click, Properties > Access Tab > Relay button > Add 127.0.0.1 in the option. Also enable logging for additional troubleshooting.

CDONTS is deprecated (around the time of XP, I believe?) Here are 2 common replacements.
