jayman13:
Just wanted to post my script that worked as it may help someone trying to figure this out. FYI I have comcast so I used the smtp comcast server which required my comcast user name and password but could be used with any provider I'm sure:
Const cdoSendUsingPickup = 1 'Send message using the local SMTP service pickup directory.
Const cdoSendUsingPort = 2 'Send the message using the network (SMTP over the network).
Const cdoAnonymous = 0 'Do not authenticate
Const cdoBasic = 1 'basic (clear-text) authentication
Const cdoNTLM = 2 'NTLM
Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objMessage.Subject = "Office Light On"
objMessage.From = """ASrock3"" <yourname@comcast.net>"
objMessage.To = "desiredemail@gmail.com"
objMessage.TextBody = "Office Light On!"
'==This section provides the configuration information for the remote SMTP server.
