There is a DLL you can use to call Outlook to avoid that. http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/ It wraps the Outlook COM objects and accesses them in a way that doesn't trigger the warning. [The security BS is bypassed if you call DLL entries directly from C/C++ instead of via the COM interface.] > Obviously, in a sense, since otherwise any would-be virus / > zombie program would simply turn the option off before using > Outlook to send out its emails! Like most of Microsoft's "security" features, it provides zero real protection and a lot of real annoyance. Anybody who really wants to can bypass it.
