Any way to get rid of Outlook (2003) Warning that someone is trying to send an email?

As said in the topic?

I understand that this security has been added following many viruses out
there but we have an automated system that we need to put in place that send
emails.

Any idea?

Thanks

there's a detailed description on msdn that's been out there since 2000 when
the outlook security patch was released. it describes the problem and
resolution. essencially, you need to digitally sign your assembly and update
you security settings to allow your signatured app full reign for your
"zone".

i've never been a fan of using outlook to send email programmaticall y, so of
course i have to recommend simply opening port 25 and send your email via
standard email rfc commands.

cuts a lot of crap out of the picture.

Hi Christian,

I you <have> to use Outlook rather than port 25, as steve suggests, or the
..NET mail classes, this question arose earlier this month. Topic: E-Mailing
through outlook, dated 2nd Oct.

Here's a Google Groups search which will take you there. The topic title
changed so the thread is split up. http://tinyurl.com/razr

Christian,
In addition to the others comments.

Outlook 2003 has changed the rules such that properly constructed COM Addins
will no longer get the prompt.

I have not tried it, it sounds like Exchange Server has options to control
the prompt on earlier versions of Outlook.

In case you don't have it the following site provides a number of articles
on using Outlook from .NET.

If you are just sending email, using the SmtpMail & MailMessage classes in
the System.Web.Mail namespace might be easiest. Matthew MacDonald's book
"Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Programmer's Cookbook" has a sample plus
caveats & alternatives.

Hope this helps
Jay
