Re: New to add-ins "Sharad Naik" <sharadnaik[ at ]no-spam.vsnl.net> 1/24/2006 12:59:28 PM Hello, Many thanks, looks exciting. I have another question. Do you know any link to know what all events can be used in add-in, for Outlook 2003? I want to specifically catch ItemSend event in my add-in, any link to such examples will be of great help.

Re: New to add-ins "Sharad Naik" <sharadnaik[ at ]no-spam.vsnl.net> 1/24/2006 1:09:21 PM Sorry, I mixed up, Item send is not the event I want to catch, it is a different even than I though. I want to catch the event, when outlook opens a connection to the remote smtp server.

Re: New to add-ins "Sharad Naik" <sharadnaik[ at ]no-spam.vsnl.net> 1/24/2006 4:14:39 PM Hello Ken, Thanks for the response. The link you gave is excellent. First thing I want to ask, is there a way to digitally sign add-in created in VB6? I created a test add-in for outlook and with security level set to High, it won't load add-ins which are not digitally singed and trusted. Until now I only used macros which can be so easily signed with a digital certificate. Second thing: there are many antivirus programs like symantec etc., which "I THINK" do catch event when outlook connects to an smtp or pop3 server and proxy for the end servers. (The reason I believe they catch this event, is that if the smtp or pop3 server is un-reachable, those antivirus programs just don't come in to picture and keep silence.) I did lot of web search in past few hours about catching this event but in vein. I am very qurious how those antivirs folks manage it.

Re: New to add-ins "Dmitry Streblechenko" <dmitry[ at ]dimastr.com> 1/24/2006 5:46:06 PM Most likely they are using a layered TCP/IP provider which can intercept network traffic on the TCP/IP protocol level; this really has nothing to do with Outlook.

Re: New to add-ins "Sharad Naik" <sharadnaik[ at ]no-spam.vsnl.net> 1/25/2006 7:45:56 AM Of course you are right. They work for all mail clients. I just got fulled by the symantec add-in in my outlook, now I realize it is only for scan on item open.

Re: New to add-ins "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 1/25/2006 2:31:58 PM To add to what Dmitry said, the way some things like Norton operate is to replace your account settings with a link to localhost where they install their own SMTP server and trap the outgoing/incoming mail that way. Once they finish screwing up the message they then forward to the real servers from the account properties you originally set up. I have no problems signing my COM addins created using VB 6. The language is never an issue. If you create a DLL for a COM addin, or an OCX for a property page you just use your signing certificate on that. I use a Thawte code signing certificate and can do that as well as sign my MSI or setup.exe installation packages. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Sharad Naik" <sharadnaik[ at ]no-spam.vsnl.net> wrote in message news:ePEnRFQIGHA.3000[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl...

Re: New to add-ins "Sharad Naik" <sharadnaik[ at ]no-spam.vsnl.net> 1/26/2006 1:04:38 PM Thanks Ken, I didn't have tools for signing codes in VB. On MS site I found CAPICOM tool and with it now I am able to sign my add-in.
