VB 2005 Email Programming

Can anyone give me a head start on programming outlook to send and recieve
mail via VB 2005. I want to automatically send a unique pin number
to a customer who's credit card was approved. I am new to VB2005. This
would be my first VB2005 app. I have using VB6 for over 15 years.

Warm Regards,

You don't need to use Outlook for this : )

Take a look at .NET 2.0's mail classes: System.Web.Mail.

Is this the same as MAPI in vb6?

You're going to send pin numbers over email? You do know email is as
secure as a postcard, don't you?

Larry,

Are you sure that a postcard is not more secure than email. I have not the
idea that people is searching for postcards with pin numbers on it.

No, it's not MAPI at all - I think .NET 2.0's System.Web.Mail classes are
native... tho they might still use CDO (in .NET 1.1 System.Mail were CDO
wrappers).

Any unencrptyped data can be sniffed along the way ... it's not
inconceivable someone has a sniffer between the end points. Data can travel
around the world and back : )

can be sniffed?

if you have a single sniffer on your network then you're fucked anyways

use HTTPS and outlook web access if you're a paralyzed paranoid retard.

that doesn't mean that you surrender on the email front.
you watch out for sniffers; you look for executable names; you look for
md5 hashes

you don't just sit there. email is not more insecure than anything else
you do on the internet..

Then why did they invent encrypted connections like https, vpn, SSH etc.
Sure you can send sensitive information via email, just encrypt it with
PGP or something so that only the receiver can decode it. These
technologies exist for a reason.

Why do you think online banking or entering CC information on internet
shops use encrypted connections instead of uncrypted cleartext
transmissions?

How do you watch out for sniffers? If you have a method of detecting a
sniffer, please do tell.

it's just that it's over-simplifying to say that email is inherently
insecure.

that was my beef-- email isn't inherently insecure.

if it's mis-configured; it could be inappropriate to send pins via
email.

but if you're sending it to mainly corporate customers; then it might
not be as big of a deal as you alarmists made it up to be

if you're a fucking idiot that uses a hub; then maybe you could sniff
it.

from what I understand; nobody uses hubs anymore so who gives a shit
what they're trying to sniff

all i know is that i can buy a 16-port 100mbit switch for what $70?

What's with your language?

And a switch won't prevent sniffing - you can turn on port mirroring quite
easily.

There are criminals from all walks of life. For that matter, how do you
know you can trust your ISP?

Hence why send sensitive material via e-mail when there are more secure
channels?

Aug 25 '06 #18
like what.. snailmail?

how do you know you can trust your post office worker?

ssh?

how do you know you can trust your linux admin.

trust is EARNED.
and I TRUST EMAIL. It is a lot better than it was 5 years ago.

it used to have serious problems; but hotmail and outlook / exchange
have gotten a LOT more secure over the past 5 years.

You can't ... that's why they invented postal insurance and tracking
numbers ;-)

good stuff.

I think that you're too paranoid for your own good.

yes, emailing PINs is 'risky'

I wouldn't do it for a PIN number for a credit card for example--

but if you're emailing passwords for an online forum? I don't think
that it's the end of the world.

Since your information in email is sensitive, so I think you may need
the SSL and S/MIME.

I used this email component ( http://www.emailarchitect.net/easendmail/
) in our company for confidential email, there are several samples for
vb.net after
you installed it on machine.

SSL connection:

SSL connection encrypts data between the SMTP component and SMTP server
to protects user, password and email content in TCP/IP level.

Please refer to:

http://www.emailarchitect.net/easend...?ct=object_ssl

S/MIME: digital signed and encrypted email

Digital signature prevents email content is faked or changed in
transport level. Encrypting email protects email content from exposure
to inappropriate recipients. Both digital signature and email
encrypting depend on digital certificate.

Please refer to:

http://www.emailarchitect.net/easend...t=object_smime
