Unless you are talking about some ancient version of Exchange, you
should be able to send your email via SMTP. If the SMTP service is not
running on the Exchange server you are using, but it is a relatively
recent version, you could use win32ole and CDO. CDO, short for
Collaboration Data Objects, is a Microsoft API for accessing the
messaging services in Exchange.
