Question?? Outlook 2003

Recommended Posts

I have an application that is using Outlook 2003 to send email. Allot of email. Every time the blast is sent a box pops up "a 3rd party software is accessing outlook 2003"... More like a trust message? Do you trust this 3rd party client type of message. "I don't have the exact error".. Upon selecting yes, the email is sent.

The next time an email is sent it starts all over again.

How do I make outlook 2003 trust that application implicitly and stop asking that 3rd party question?

It's not a simple setting change. If it's a Visual Basic application you can add a digitial signature to the app. To do so...

- Make sure you have MS Office Tools installed.
- Find selfcert.exe on your hard drive and run it
- That will create a digital signature and you can name it whatever you want.
- Open the Visual Basic app that gives you the message in a VB editor.
- Go to Tools - Digital signatures and add that one.
- Close Outlook and reopen it. It will warn you that a program is running macros that are signed by whatever name you gave it. Check off to allow it and to always allow apps with that signature to run.

If you do that, you won't get the warning for that app anymore but will still be protected against other apps or a virus trying to send email as you.

If it's not a VB app, the only other solution is to completely disable that warning for all apps. That has to be done by making a change on the Exchange server and adding a registry key to your computer.
