[DUG]: Email questions

[Dave . Jollie]

Hi all   I recently moved an app from using MAPI with Outlook, to using SMTP. My reasons were 2-fold. To get around the Outlook prompt - "A program is trying to send an email on your behalf. This could be a virus. Do you want to allow this?" My other reason, was that it's a batch app which sends 100's of emails out to our advisers and I didn't want the "from" address to be the developers email, where the app was run. (With SMTP I could define the from address).   Now I have a concern. One email I read recently made me wonder if SMTP is as reliable as MAPI - in getting bulk emails out successfully without failure.   My questions: Is MAPI more reliable than SMTP? Can the "from" be forced to a different address using MAPI?   Any comments appreciated.   Cheers Dave Jollie Developer, TOWER NZ IT (: 09 368 4259 Ê: 09 306 6801 *: [EMAIL PROTECTED] .: 46 Parnell Rd, Parnell, Auckland
