A program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf

[samn265]

I am sending an email message using a code I built. Every time the message is sent, I get the following from Microsoft Outlook:
"A program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf. Do you want to allow this? If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No". "
I searched in Microsoft Knowledge Base Articles Q288083 and Q290498, and others, but none of them give you a straight forward answer on how to go around this problem (or maybe I am not getting.
Does anyone know how to go around this security problem in plain English. Please help, I greatly appreciated.

That "problem" is because Microsoft put that there to prevent malicious code from sending out emails to your entire address book. As far as I know, there is no way to disable it, and I would really recommend that you DO NOT disable it.

If there were a way to do it temporarily in VBA code, then the virus-creators would do that, so you obviously can't do it in code.

Check through the options within Outlook itself. If there is a checkbox or some other option that mentions "macro viruses" then that might be what you're looking for, but really, don't do it. Make your happy endusers click the little box, otherwise someday your servers will fail because someone sent out a "Melissia" email bomb and you disabled the protection...


Onwards,
