We use both methods to send e-mails, for there are differences.

With CDO you need to allow the machines that send e-mails to relay with exchange, which apparently is a security risk (not allowed in our company, only a few computers, 2 or 3, in the organization are allowed to relay, so CDO will not work for outside messages, an alternative we use is having a program in one of those machines that will send the e-mails for you using CDO.

We also use Outlook for procurement for they want to keep in their sent folder all the e-mail conversations, of course this can be done with a table and recording the information, but then the conversations will be split, the automated ones (usually sending a PO) in a table, the manual ones in Outlook (for example discussions brought forward for said PO).

Lastly when using outook we use Redemption.dll which works pretty well. (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/download.htm)

>Nope - this message comes from Outlook and is meant as a security measure to avoid email scripting attacks. I believe there are some third party programs you can get that will circumvent that 'feature' but they'd have to be installed on any client.

>If you want to send emails it's best not to automate Outlook but use some other mechanism like direct SMTP messages...'

>There are examples/tools here in the libraries or third party tools like West Wind Client Tools (http://www.west-wind.com/WestwindClientTools.aspx) that allow you to directly send emails without COM automation and Outlook requirements.
