[AccessD] Route email to SMTP Server from Access

Hi Dan,

Here's the way I'm doing it:

Public Sub SendEmail(strFrom As String, strTo As String, strSubject As
String, strMessage As String)
    Dim objEmail As Object
    Dim objMsg As Object
    Dim objConf As Object
    Dim Flds As Variant
    
    Set objMsg = CreateObject("cdo.message")
    Set objConf = CreateObject("cdo.configuration")
    
    Set Flds = objConf.Fields
    With Flds
        ' The first item with value "2" indicates that smpt not installed on
this machine
        .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") =
2
        ' Next item is the name of the smpt server to use.
        ' Look in Outlook | Tools | Email Accounts | View or change... |
Change to find
        .Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") =
"<exchange server name"
        ' This is the port the smpt server uses, 25 is the default
 
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smptserverport") = 25
        .Update
    End With
    
    With objMsg
        Set .configuration = objConf
            .To = strTo
            .From = strFrom
            .Subject = strSubject
            .Textbody = strMessage
            .Fields.Update
            .Send
    End With
    
    Set objMsg = Nothing
    Set objConf = Nothing
End Sub

|Hello and Happy Holidays to everyone!
|
|I have a customer I am getting started with.  To send email 
|and get around the Outlook security patch, I suggested either 
|using Redemption or using the Outlook Security Administrator's 
|package.  I then received the suggestion to try sending email 
|straight to the SMTP server, bypassing the security problem.  
|
|What seems to be required to do this is to either use CDO, of 
|which there are different versions (CDO, CDONTS, and CDOSYS), 
|or a 3rd party product. Is this really correct or is there 
|another way?  Perhaps a Windows API that can be used for the 
|same purpose?
|
|I did do a search on the archives for SMTP, but because many 
|people's emails have SMTP in the email header, the search was 
|not useful.
|
|Anyone have an early Christmas present they can give me?
|
|Thanks!
|Dan Waters
