[AccessD] SMTP or Outlook?

SMTP? Outlook? CDO?  Sounds like the programmer's full employment Act of
2007. 

Thanks to all for the feedback.

Not so much an opinion as a comment. To get round the Outlook security
question you don't need to use ClickYes. I (and many others on this list I
reckon) use Redemption instead. Requires more programming but it's largely a
case of replacing Outlook objects with the parallel Redemption object. Not
at all difficult. Check out http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/ . So if
that's your main reason for concern about Outlook there is another way.

Dear List:

I am developing a legal matter tracking app for a client. One of the
features is to email reports on a regular schedule to clients regarding the
various matters being handled.

We can go with either Outlook or SMTP. There's already some SMTP code in the
app (legacy app) and I've got some code for Outlook.

Outlook, of course, has the disadvantage of thae nag messages requiring you
to allow access to Outlook when sending from another app. I get around this
by using Click Yes but that has a security problem, obviously, in that
malware could then use Outlook.

BTW, this isn't just for in-house use - he intends to make this a product.

Any opinions? Is there a third alternative?
