Catch ex As Exception
ErrMsg = ex.Message
Return False

1. Make sure you have an SMTP server set up (can be Exchange)
2. Make sure you are configured to use this server
3. Make sure you have rights to relay messages if you are using a server

Any of these can bomb things. If you are using the MS SMTP Server that ships
with the OS, check the mail folder and see if you have stuck messages. If
so, you are contacting the SMTP service, but it is not relaying the messages
(does not know how to send things out). If not, you are not properly
configured to use the SMTP service.

If you are using Exchange or another server option, check with your admin
and see if you are even getting into the system.
