email alerts via CCPulse+

[Jerry]

anyone know how to get around the MS security update which creates a dialog box stating "a program is attempting to send an email on your behalf, do you want to allow this ?" click yes or no, when using a VBS script to execute the sendmail command ?

You can disable it by going to Outlook>Tools>Options>Security tab and remove the tick in "Warn me when other applications try to send mail as me" radio button.

Tony,

Thanks for the reply but I think that is in outlook express only. That option is not available within Outlook 2000.

Apparently, this popup is a security feature of Outlook. There is software out there to autoclick this box but it does not appear that it can be "switched off" not even at Registry level.

have you looked at who the application is logged into the machine as?... If outlook can be made to think that the request is coming from a valid user signed into the computer then the alert may not happen...A bit of a long shot though.

Thanks for all of the replies , the "click yes" software wouldn't make it past the corporate Network folks, I think one og net engineers is investigating an alternate solution of sending the mail via SMTP instead of using the VBS .sendmail command.

No, you can't. See this article for the MS explain:

But do you have to use Outlook for sending your email?
