How to get SMTP address from Distinguished Name

[asma.alam]

I can get the SMTP address of the current user using CDO but I need to
loop through all the names in the TO list of an incoming message and
get all their SMTP addresses as well. I guess I would need to change
the current user each time, get their AddressEntry.ID and then extract
the Cdo_PR_EMAIL field. But how can I do this. Also I dont want to be
prompted by any security dialogs as my processes have to run without
human intervention

Thanks

For each recipient, read the Recipient.AddressEntry property, then use
AddressEntry.Fields to read the PR_SMTP_ADDRESS property (0x39FE001E)

No, just access the AddressEntry with CDO and get the Cdo_PR_EMAIL field.

If you don't want security prompts, use Redemption
(http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/) instead of CDO.

Sue,

In C# I use the following to resolve:

MailItem mailTemp = item.ReplyAll();

Is this eventually going to cause me problems? I’m in early beta now.

Thanks...
Austin

Most likely, yes:

1) You'll still get the DN not the SMTP address.

2) Unless this is a COM addin for Outlook 2003 or for trusting at the
Exchange server level, you'll get security prompts.

Thanks Dimitry and Sue for that quick response. I can now get the SMTP
addresses of all in the TO list using Redemption. However I still get
the Outlook security prompt dialog.

Presumably this happens when I detect the incoming objMsg As
Outlook.MailItem and the code runs to convert it to a CDO message using

objCDOMsg = objSession.GetMessage(strEntryID, strStoreID)
before passing it onto the Redemption routines.
How can I avoid such prompts? I cant have user interventions in my
process.


And secondly Can you please tell me how to change the following code to
use the name of a person OTHER than the CurrentUser. It works fine to
return the SMTP address of the CurrentUser so I was trying to use it
return other users Smtp addresses, by somehow trying to impersonate
another user but I'm not really sure how.

Set objSession = CreateObject("MAPI.Session")
objSession.Logon "", "", False, False
Set objAddressEntry = objSession.CurrentUser
strAddressEntryID = objAddressEntry.ID
' Get the SMTP address
strEMailAddress =
objSession.GetAddressEntry(strAddressEntryID).Fields(CdoPR_EMAIL)

thanks again
Asma

1. No, Session.GetMessage does not display a prompt, so it must be something
else.
2. Where does the other address entry come from? If you only know the name,
use Namespace.CreateRecipients or Namespace.AddressLists to drill down to a
particular address list and find an entry in its contents table.
