[AccessD] Route email to SMTP Server from Access

Hello and Happy Holidays to everyone!

I have a customer I am getting started with.  To send email and get around
the Outlook security patch, I suggested either using Redemption or using the
Outlook Security Administrator's package.  I then received the suggestion to
try sending email straight to the SMTP server, bypassing the security
problem.  

What seems to be required to do this is to either use CDO, of which there
are different versions (CDO, CDONTS, and CDOSYS), or a 3rd party product.
Is this really correct or is there another way?  Perhaps a Windows API that
can be used for the same purpose?

I did do a search on the archives for SMTP, but because many people's emails
have SMTP in the email header, the search was not useful.

Anyone have an early Christmas present they can give me?

Thanks!
