Alternatively, if your application can be configured to use SMTP mail instead of MAPI, you can set up IIS SMTP Service on that PC and use that to send emails. That'll eliminate the need for a mail client running at all times. It is a much cleaner way of doing automated mailings if your application supports it.

The email client in question is Outlook 2000. When the library application attempts the above Outlook generates the following message "A program is trying to access your Address Book" and permits the user "To allow unsecured access for a specified time period of up to 10 minutes". We select 10 minutes. However the library application deposits each notice it generates in the Outbox of Outlook and on each deposit displays the message "A program is trying to automatically send email on your behalf. Do you want to allow this?" requiring the user to click yes (for each item) before the item is sent. Can anyone suggest a way to automate the task of assenting to the messages in the Outbox being sent, as the aim is to have these messages emailed out without as little user intervention as possible? (Currently in the order of 30 messages need to be emailed a day but as the term progresses this is likely to become 300+) Many thanks, Alastair Morrison --------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Strathclyde University Glasgow UK _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
