Trusting external programs to send email through Outlook?
We are developing an application that we are going to deploy onto a bunch of laptops out in the field. This application needs to send mail thru the outlook but for each mail we try to send we get the Security Question from Outlook
"A program is trying to automatically send an e-mail on your behalf, do you want to allow this? [Yes] [No] [Help]"
This is something we can't bypass in the code of the aplication (which is good really for the virus risk) but we need to get around this cause the people using the laptops are not very good with computers and we are helping them by sending automatic reports this way.
Is there anyway for us to, on the client laptops, make some setting to trust our application so this Outlook question does not get in the way for these reports.
Best Regards/
Lars Netzel

It appears that if:
1) You're using Exchange as the mail server
2) Your users are using OST and not PST folders and
3) Your Exchange admin is an accommodating sort of fellow
that you may be able to configure the Exchange server to bypass this security setting for your group.
