Outlook (bypassing security) and CDO assitance.

[Toby Erkson]

Okay, I did a search for bypassing the popup the Outlook presents when
sending email on the behalf of someone else. It lead me to Ron de Bruin's
page: http://www.rondebruin.nl/sendmail.htm#Prevent and from there I hit
his CDO link (http://www.rondebruin.nl/cdo.htm#Workbook) and figured out how
to use CDO successfully. Thanks Ron! However, my manager has security
concerns about using the internet to send email. So I need more information
about this process from those who know CDO.

1. Can CDO email be confined to a company's INTRANET (not INTERNET)?
1a. If not, can it be easily encrypted or sent thru some secure line?

2. I stumbled across this page:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;161833. Would this
work for me; no Outlook security messages and internal (no internet)
routing? It's using Outlook stuff so I'm guessing not...but...?

Thanks. I really would like to get a better understanding and know what my
options are. My VB experience is beginner-to-intermediate level.

Hi Toby

Quick answer from me

1) Can help you with this one, I have no experience with a INTRANET.

2)Look at this webpage, very good info for you I think.

Outlook Redemption

Talked with a friend who's extremely knowledgeable about CDO's. He said
that if I'm hitting my local SMTP within the company's intranet and the
email addy is a company one then the message will stay within the intranet.

Still looking for additional input

Hi Toby

I use CDO for Win 2000 on my help page
This is not the same as CDO 1.2.1

Look on MSDN for more info

Basically, an "intranet" is a company's internal internet.

Yes, I did see the Redemption site but I wanted to try and keep away from
relying upon external applications/add-ins/etc. The CDO stuff works just
fine for my purposes.

Thanks!

The CDO stuff works just fine for my purposes.

I love it also(that's why I add the page to my site)
