I have an application that uses MAPI to call outlook to send out email to a
list of recipients that it pulls out from a database. The new outlooks
(since 2002) do not let my application to send out email. How can I set the
outlook to trust my application to send email and not to pop up a warning
message?

The good news is that I have read a press release somewhere (sorry, forgot
where) which says that in OL 2007, it is possible to disable the Outlook
Security if you have up-to-date AV software. Hurray!

Hi, Paul,

I will not know what email service will be used. The email service provider
can be different among the users of that MAPI application. Do you mean that
has to be done in the exchange server?

All I know is that my computers have outlook and use email services from the
DSL service provider. One of my computer has outlook 2000 and the MAPI
application can send emails; another one has outlook 2003 and the
application cannot send emails. Is there any setting in outlook 2003's
advanced options to get it work?

No, there's no such setting in Outlook 2003. Your Outlook 2000 system works because it's vulnerable to all kinds of malicious code attacks.

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm for a complete review of your options.
