I have even written code to send e-mails via YAHOO and GOOGLE, if you don't have a ready SMTP server. There are numerous examples of code out on the internet, here is a sample. I suggest Googling cdo vba email attachments ... best way to get good code and samples applicable to VBA.

Using the Windows scheduler, we can initiate Access, run the reports, and store them as PDF files. This all works nicely. We keep running into obstacles with every approach that we have tried to automate the e-mailing of these reports in an unattended environment (Terminal Services / Remote Desktop). We would prefer to use Outlook, but we are open to other approaches. We are curious how others handle this situation.
