If the code is running server side then CDO would be installed if the
Exchange management tools are installed and server side CDO 1.21 is not
subject to the security. Only client side CDO (from the Office CD) is
subject to security.

The two should never be mixed. Just as you never install Outlook on your
Exchange server you don't install CDO client on the server either.

Extended MAPI can only be programmed using C++ or Delphi. That's hurdle #1.
It's also not object oriented and is hard to learn and use. Personally I use
Redemption in my coding.

Is Extended MAPI hard to use? We're having too many problems with using
the Outlook object model to send & receive email in a server type
application.

CDO is mentioned in the Outlook Security template so I assume shifting to
CDO wouldn't help that aspect - we'd still need the Exchange admin user to
create the templates.

Redemption looks like a good system, just not sure how acceptable it is in
a corporate environment.

Thanks, Rob.
