How do I send from Sage without Outlook needing confirm not virus

We use Sage Line 50 accounts package to generate invoices and then issue them
via email. Invoice runs can be many hundreds and for each and every one
Outlook interrupts the process with a 5 second delay then requires the user
to click on a dialogue button to confirm that the message is intended to be
sent and not the result of virus activity. This is both time consuming
meaning that someone has to sit there clicking yes every 5 seconds or so for
half an hour or more at a time, hardly benfecial to office productivity, and
extremely annoying. So is there a security setting in Outlook that can be
disabled whenever we need to do an invoice run or do I need to find another
email program. Sage are adamant there is nothing they can so about it.

Well, they're wrong - they just don't want to do anything about it for some
reason.

Outlook's security feature has been around for a long time, and third party
developers need to get on the stick and update their software to work with
it.

As a workaround, google for "expressclickyes" (without the quotes). It's a
little app that sits in your system tray and clicks Yes for you while
enabled. Don't leave it enabled all the time, or you are effectively opening
yourself up to mail-borne viruses that will send a ton of mail out without
your knowing it.
