They "broke" it by plugging a security hole. I can't think of any way for the machine to know wether a particular instance of a program trying to use Outlook is legitimate or not. There a web bugs that can "phone home" and trojans that can use your machine in a DDOS attack, which leaves *you* liable. Which aggrevation would you prefer?

Microsoft intentional broke any application that uses the OOM and provides no mechanism as a means to bypass legitimate application?

This machine has Outlook code that traps the NewMail event then stores certain messages to a help desk Access database. Ever since they installed the SP we're getting popups on every mail that arrives in our admin person's Inbox requiring her intervention. The dialog reads: <annoying_popup> A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow this? If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No". </annoying_popup> It then asks for how long access should be provided. Is there any way to get rid of this popup? This admin person does all the admin for our dept. and gets a lot mail and is quite fed up with clicking past this thing (she also has to select a check box on the dialog to continue). I tried removing the code and writing it into a stand-alone VB app that traps the NewMail event figuring it was the presence of Macros that caused it but no luck.
