Yes, you can use CDONTS ASP component to send mail using ASP. Below is the sample code which you can use to send mail:
   

Code:

<%
      Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

      objMail.To = “Name <email@domain.com>”
      objMail.From = “Name<email@domain.com>”
      objMail.Subject = “CDONTS Sample Script”

      BodyText = “This is a test email.” & vbCRLF
      BodyText = BodyText & “It was sent using CDONTS”  & vbCRLF
      BodyText = BodyText & vbCRLF

      objMail.Body = BodyText
      objMail.AttachFile “c:\attachfile.txt”  // For Attachment

      objMail.Send
%>

Also it is recommended you validate all input values before it send mail.

I'm guessing the emails are getting flagged as spam because that's exactly what they are? lol

I suppose it depends on what they use the script for - if the OP wants to allow his website visitors to send him a message then he can always tweak his junk filter to allow that sort of message to arrive

Well, you can make your form manually in HTML, Javascript, PHP. But once you SUBMIT your form, all the information in it has to be processed on the server (either if you need to store info on a db, or whatever the case.)
If your issue consists in not using PHP, then you can use ASP.NET, or ASP, etc; but you have to use a server platform to process your forms.

In this case, you say it's a contact form, that's you write a mail then you submit the form a mail address. In a normal situation, when you submit that form, another server page (i.e. made in PHP) usually takes that info (username, destination address, subject, mail content) and calls server functions to send the mail. That kind of things can't be done in Javascript because Javascript runs on people's browsers. Javascript is client-side. PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, are server-side.
