I've just checked the documentation for the SmtpMail class.
Quotted:

"
Provides properties and methods for sending messages using
the Collaboration Data Objects for Windows 2000 (CDOSYS) message component.
"

and at the bottom of the page, at the Platforms requirements says that

"
Platforms: Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003 family
"

It seems that SmtpMail class works only on W2K systems and above.

So, you have to find an alternative for sending mail messages.
I believe it can be done by importing the ShellExecute() Win32 API function
and using the verb "mailto". The old way of doing things.

PS. Here is an article by Kudzu (the famous Indy project) posted
today to CodeProject on how to send mails using a .Net open source
version of the Indy package
