A program designed by one of our technicians attempts to
send out an emergency email to multiple email addresses,
using Microsoft Outlook 2002. However, the mail message
attempts to send thru our Exchange server, instead of the
SMTP it is supposed to be using. The Exchange is not set
up to send mail out of our university for security
reasons, yet Outlook will not allow me to redirect those
mails thru our SMTP server. The SMTP is set up as the
default on every user's machine here, but these emails
skip right past it. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
 
Is the Outlook profile you are using one with the SMTP account and no
Exchange account? You would need that. Or you could use CDO 1.21 or
Extended MAPI to log into a Session using a dynamic profile to send
the mail using an SMTP account. See www.cdolive.com/cdo5.htm for a CDO
1.21 code sample of a dynamic login.
