Outlook security settings block third party apps to send email

[Henrik]

Hi

A customer has a third party app that sends emails thhru e local install of
Outlook on a Win 2003 server.
We recently updated the server with patches, both for OS but also for
Outlook. i this case we applied Sp2
and got problems with the security settings that now promts to allow or not
allow this third party app to connect to send emails.

Is there a way to get around this "by design issue" or Is the only solution
to reinstall?

TIA

Sry, forgott to mention, Outlook Is version 2003.

Thanks Diane,

I came across the same info yesterday after some more searching.
Our solution was to reinstall Outlook and not to apply any Servicepacks,
only security updates.
That always seems to be the "best solution".. in the customers eyes...
