Dim mymail
'Create an instance of the CDOSYS Object
set mymail = createobject("CDO.Message")
mymail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")=2
mymail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver")="mail.domain.com" 'this should be changed to the smtp server you have access to
mymail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport")=25 'or the port configured for smtp
'you can uncomment the lines below if your mail server requires authentication
'mymail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate")=1
'mymail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername")="your_authenticated_user@domain.com" ' this should be the authenticated user who can send emails
'mymail.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword")="thepassword" ' the password of the authenticated user
 
'update the configuration options
mymail.Configuration.Fields.Update
 
' the email address to send to
mymail.to = "email_address@otherdomain.com"
'if you want to include a name then
