We currently have an application written in VC 6.0 running on Windows 2000 that sends e-mail messages to an Exchange server for distribution to end-users.<br />
<br />
Currently, this is using MAPI, but the question is whether it could (or should) actually be using CDO. &nbsp;It's legacy, so I have no idea why it was done this way, but I would expect that CDO is actually more reliable.<br />
<br />
Can I get feed back on the pros/cons of these two alternatives and which is recommended for an unattended server application like this?<br />
<br />
Thanks
