From: jpBless on 6 Apr 2010 17:41 ===================== First off my apology for multiposting. I posted to the wrong group by accident. This post was meant for this group and not the enterprise group I had posted to by accident. ========================================= I have automated VB6 application that sends email to to clients when prompted by a user. The app uses MAPI client (using the default mail client information to send the mail). After sending mail the email and attachments gets added to SENT Folder of the mail client. This app has worked well and still does for users using Outlook express. However if the default client is Outlook Application a security message/warning comes up warning the user "Unknown application is trying to send messge..." and ask user to confirm and select profile etc... No matter what the user does the app hangs. I have tried all I could and can't resolve this problem... Has any one encountered and resolved this issue? I have thought of using any VB6 method that could send email independent of user's default email... But I am stomped too. The Sendmail.dll can't seem to resolve the issue of sending mail using IMAP (like Gmail) settings.. In short I need your help. Thanks in advance.

That's a security prompt that OE displays if the option 'Warn me if other apps try sending mail as me' is checked. This is set by the user via the Options dialog Security tab. There's two things you could do IMO; 1. Use your own email account info/credentials in the MapiSession.SignOn, -OR- 2. Pass 'TRUE' for the optional MapiSession.Send arg to display the user's default mail app dialog to so the user can do the send. I prefer the latter approach so as to give the user an opportunity to view the email and optionally edit it if desired. Also, this doesn't require any username/password info because it defaults to using the user's mail app account. Otherwise, you can fill in and prepare all the other stuff via code thus leaving only the 'Send' up to the user. HTH -- Garry

With a little effort, you could make it a VB6 solution.

I think Outlook 2000 was the first version to implement this security feature. There are ways around it. For example, you might want to use CDO instead. CDO is not dependent on an email client program. BUT, the user will need to provide some information such as the SMTP and/or POP server and possibly credentials. -- Mike

The easiest way is to use Redemption for Outlook. It gets around this problem and exposes many more methods and properties than CDO. It's free (getting rarer these days) and works with all versions of Outlook AFAIK. Please note that solutions that involve "turning off" the warning may not work in a corporate environment as this is one of the many things that a SysAdmin locks in Group Policy to avoid virus propagation. |
