Can anyone give me a head start on programming outlook to send and
recieve mail via VB 2005. I want to automatically send a unique pin
number to a customer who's credit card was approved. I am new to
VB2005. This would be my first VB2005 app. I have using VB6 for over
15 years.

You don't need to use Outlook for this : )

Take a look at .NET 2.0's mail classes: System.Web.Mail .

Re: VB 2005 Email Programming

Is this the same as MAPI in vb6?

You're going to send pin numbers over email? You do know email is as
secure as a postcard, don't you?

Larry,

Are you sure that a postcard is not more secure than email. I have not the
idea that people is searching for postcards with pin numbers on it.

No, it's not MAPI at all - I think .NET 2.0's System.Web.Mail classes are
native... tho they might still use CDO (in .NET 1.1 System.Mail were CDO
wrappers).

Any unencrptyped data can be sniffed along the way ... it's not
inconceivable someone has a sniffer between the end points. Data can travel
around the world and back : )

Re: VB 2005 Email Programming

can be sniffed?

if you have a single sniffer on your network then you're fucked anyways

use HTTPS and outlook web access if you're a paralyzed paranoid retard.

exactly.

Re: VB 2005 Email Programming

that doesn't mean that you surrender on the email front.
you watch out for sniffers; you look for executable names; you look for
md5 hashes

you don't just sit there. email is not more insecure than anything else
you do on the internet..

Then why did they invent encrypted connections like https, vpn, SSH etc.
Sure you can send sensitive information via email, just encrypt it with
PGP or something so that only the receiver can decode it. These
technologies exist for a reason.

Why do you think online banking or entering CC information on internet
shops use encrypted connections instead of uncrypted cleartext
transmissions?

How do you watch out for sniffers? If you have a method of detecting a
sniffer, please do tell.

Re: VB 2005 Email Programming

it's just that it's over-simplifying to say that email is inherently
insecure.

that was my beef-- email isn't inherently insecure.

if it's mis-configured; it could be inappropriate to send pins via
email.

but if you're sending it to mainly corporate customers; then it might
not be as big of a deal as you alarmists made it up to be

Re: VB 2005 Email Programming

if you're a fucking idiot that uses a hub; then maybe you could sniff
it.

from what I understand; nobody uses hubs anymore so who gives a shit
what they're trying to sniff

all i know is that i can buy a 16-port 100mbit switch for what $70?
