[AccessD] Blatt or other email

All the computer on which the process runs has to have SMTP capabilities, an
ISP, an email address and that's it. 

I have never used Outlook as part of an automated mail out system; it just
too flaky. I just write the document/PDF/HTML file to a directory and run
BLAT.

Can it hit something like google mail?  I don't have an email server, I have
to use something "out 
there" to do the actual mailing.
