Outlook Automation, Sending Email

[Randy Wheeler]

I can successfully send an email message using Outlook
Automation, but I keep getting an Outlook security message
asking if it is okay for Outlook to send the message. My
application receives data from a piece of scientific
equipment that would get emailed to various receipients
the user would specify. The process might happen
unattended so no one would be available to say Yes to
sending the message. Is there any way the end user can
tell Outlook it is okay to accept messages from my program
without displaying a security message every time?

Thank you.

I encountered this problem a year ago when it ambushed me during one of my
routine updates from microsoft. The only way around it that I have found is
to write a little web mailer program that executes on my webserver and
creates the emails. I conduct leadership assessment surveys for large
organizations by email and Outlook was a great tool. It has since been
sabotaged and no longer can meet this need. You can install the Office 2000
original version and Never update with security patches and it works great.

If you have the same thing going to lots of different emails you can still
concatenate the emails together and that will reduce the number of clicks.
But the little webmailer program running on the web server is the best
solution - no security holes on your end and many times faster than outlook
ever was (hundreds in seconds rather than hours).

Thanks fro the redemption site. I was not interested in the ClickExpress on
the principle of the matter. It seems insane for MS to screwup something
that I have to buy a program to get around. Someone told me about it last
year but I wasn't going to pay $20 (I think) to get it. I don't mind paying
to buy something MS did not include but paying to fix something MS took away
was a total different matter. So I went the vbscript - webpage route and it
worked much faster anyway. The old outlook way took about 8 hours on a dual
p3-800 with 2GB ram and ultra-wide SCSI drives, etc and a T-1 access line to
send 2000 emails. The webmailer takes about 10 seconds to send about 200.

Thanks for the info on the redemption site. I will read that in detail.

Express ClickYes can also be used and the code can be written to use
Redemption (www.dimastr.com/redemption) to avoid the security prompts.
