A program is trying to send ..... Outlook

[astaro]

Hi everybody,
I have created a program with features to send automaticly mail and sms.
All work fine until today.
I have applied the security Outlook update on my outlook 2000, and now, each time there is this message when the program send a mail or SMS : A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook.Do you want to allow this?
I must click on ok three times to send the mail. It's not very usefull.
Is exist any solution to work around this Outlook Security features and send mail automaticaly wthout any user intervention like before ?

sounds like the update is a security update against viruses that access your address book and them send themselves if you will.

i doubt there is a simple way around it. at least i hope not

I am trying to automate mailing system at our end. I am facing problems while sending formatted tetx. The recipient is not able to view the formatted text like bold,underline or italics. I am using Rich textbox control for the body of the message to be typed into it and then using Outlook 2000 at run time to send mails to one more than one user(s).
Can somebody help me with this?

Dont use Outlook to send the mail just use Winsock.ocx. I dont know if a firewall will effect that but you certainly wont have outlook bugging you.

ya the problem you are talking about is MS OUTLOOK SR-1 which is service release 1 that automatically installs security features such as the one you are seeing, and as far as I know there is no way to manually disable it... I have looked around on MS.com and in the registry for a solution

with SR-1 installed (according to MS) there is NO way to send emails through outlook without prompting for confirmation from the user. this is to prevent automation in a malicous way.. like those email worm viruses. So if you want the email to be sent in the background (without the user having to do anything) then you need to get rid of SR-1. Supposidly there is no way to turn it off or change anything in the registry. MS said that the update was actually a chance to the outlook object model which is what you reference to automate outlook...

I think it is total BS but what can you do... I guess people have the option to install SR-1 or not... but my company did it and I have no choice but to work around it
