3rd Party program access to exchange clients

[Thomas H Maine]

Is there a way to setup exchange to allow a 3rd party program to automatically send out emails through outlook with out asking the questions do you want to allow this program access to your address list, then tell it for 1,2,5 or 10 minutes. I know there are 3rd party utils for the client side but i would like to do this from server side, b/c the client side programs just sends the email and doesnt care what program is sending it.

let me further explain the situation, we have our software which can batch import. that is installed on the workstation, currently when they do that security warning continously pops up. i thought i saw somewhere that you could allow certain applications to access outlook and send mail through them. we are running outlook 2003 with server 2003.

On the server side, you wouldn't send through Outlook at all. You can use
CDO for Windows to accomplish this, sending directly through an SMTP server.

In Outlook 2003, properly constructed COM add-ins do not trigger security
prompts at all unless the network administrator has implemented the Exchange
security settings folder as a tool for managing Outlook security. If they're
going that route, then they can designate individual COM add-ins as
"trusted."

No other programs other than properly constructed Outlook COM add-ins can be
trusted. Is your application a COM add-in and do all its Outlook objects
derive from the Application object passed in the OnConnection event?

Repeating: You do not need Outlook if your primary is to send mail.

If it's an external .dll, not a COM add-in, then the only way to avoid the
prompts is to recode it, preferably using Redemption or Extended MAPI.

it uses the object model, its a dll on our side. it not our primary option

to send email this is actually a staffing software.
