Ok I found this on the net. It works! I know because one of my many email servers requires SSL.
Copy the code into notepad.
Edit the normal areas.
Save as mail.vbs
To test your settings just double click the file! Wait about oh, 1 minute. If you dont get a popup it works. Make sure you edit for your SMTP port. It should be the same, but your isp will verify.
In your AC3, there is an area to execute a program. Point it to mail.vbs. Create an error and watch your email box!
Code:
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 = "AC3 Error Msg!"
objMessage.From = """name"" "
objMessage.To = "jim@test.com"
objMessage.TextBody = "Your AC3 has an error! Need to check it!"
