Sending emails using VBScript

To do so, follow the sample code shown below. To use the code as-is, just alter the configuration parameters by providing the from address, to address, subject, body, and SMTP server information. Optionally, you may also provide a path to a file that you want to attach to the email. Usually SMTP port number is 25; if you are unsure, leave this parameter untouched and it will probably work at the default value of 25.
