Outlook Security

[TB_Guy_2000]

I have a program that sends emails thru several different Outlook profiles using MAPI32.dll. This program runs overnight and everything worked fine until the boyz installed the security patch for Outlook 2000 (OS = Window 2000). Now I get a prompt before each email goes out.

Any way to turn off this prompt?

Did you ever figure out how to get by this? I'm looking for the same solution.

If there was a way to programatically turn off the message it wouldn't be much of a security patch because people writing viruses would first turn off the outlook security patch....

Duh....I didn't ask for a snide remark when the obvious is clear. Some people have virus protection and if kept up to date will catch most viruses.

Geezz...

It's not a snide remark, it's a statement of the reason why there is no way to turn off that option from a program.
If you get the administrators to look at the security profile there's probably a way for them to disable this option but if your app doesn't have administrator rights it can't do administrator functions.

Yes I did. Two things had to happen. I ran this REG file (Contents below)
****
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Security]
"CheckAdminSettings"=dword:00000001
*****

The Outlook Admin needs to make a change to your profile settings. Not sure what they did, but they did mention these topics:

1. Can you change the options for "When Sending Items VIA Simple MAPI" and "When resolving names via Simple MAPI" to "automatically approve?"

and

2. I have changed the Security Profile that I created this morning to only include the people that were having problems this morning


Hope this helps
