External Program to send via Outlook permanently

F

FPO703

How can I set it up to allow Outlook 2003 send messages from an external
program without having to hit 'yes/allow' every time.

By using a proper external program that is securely programmed. In those
cases, a security prompt won't be raised.

The program IS securely programmed.

It's an alphanumeric paging program that uses SMTP, WCTP, & SNPP to send
out notifications. There should be an option in Outlook to allow 'forever'
just like the 1, 2, 5, & 10 minute options.

Thanks. But, no thanks. Microsoft should have an option on there to allow
access 'forever' in addition to the 1, 2, 5, & 10 minute options.

I don't need to add any more crap ware on this system that I have no clue
what it does nor do I know who the author is. For all I know, this
'redemption' program could open up a whole slew of additional back
doors/security exploits that I don't know about.

NO THANKS!

Then you've set conditions that will make it impossible for you to
accomplish what you seek.

FYI, Microsoft itself uses Redemption in its programming - the author is an Outlook MVP and you will find the Redemption .dll in every application written securely to allow sending from Outlook by a third party.

There should still be an 'always' option on that drop-down menu. End of
story on that.

So, open a support incident wirh Microsoft and pay them to change it.

Sorry - an "always" option puts Outlook squarely back in the petri dish mode that all of the security updates removed from Outlook. "Always" means anything, anytime, including worms, trojans and viruses.

Ain't gonna happen.

Always on a per program basis. Not for EVERY freaking program out there.
God, think a bit, will you.

God, think a bit, will you.
Always trusting a 3rd application application doesn't make it more secure;
they can also be exploited and then always abuse Outlook at the same time.
This is one of the main reasons why embedding flash objects in mail is not
supported.

Demanding secure code from the 3rd party application is the way to go so
that only that action is allowed.

If you still want to the way of trusting an entire application;

And who decides what the program is and if IT hasn't been hacked?

YOU think a bit. Your refusal to view this in other than your tiny world view is what is dangerous on the Internet. You refuse to write secure code or demand that the vendor supply secure code and then b*tch at Microsoft for preventing non-secure code from running willy-nilly whenever it wants without at least a "hey, stupid, is this stuff allowed?" prompt.

I am outta here.

I paid $1500 for this program. The author will NOT give up the Source Code
for it, nor, will they offer any ideas other than, 'use Outlook as your
SMTP Gateway'. So, until you get your facts straight, you don't need to
bash me for no reason. It's people like YOU (that don't think before they
type) that are bad news on the Internet.
 
R

Roady [MVP]

So why exactly did you pay $1500 for this application? It doesn't respect
security guidelines which have been in place for over 6 years and they don't
offer support on their own product. Great deal!

I refer to my initial reply.

Sorry to hear about your trouble. The security mechanism is of course there
for a reason but the site http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/ is completely
trust worthy and the author is a very respectable member of the Outlook
groups.

Since your not a programmer yourself and the current application is not
meeting your needs just count your loses and don't make the same mistake
again...

I see the argument against an â€Always†option, but how about an extended
period 1 hour or even 8 hours. Most users don’t mind the popup a couple of
times a day. An option “until you close outlook†could also be nice.
