I am sending out a mass email to all of my customers using Word. I am getting the following message every email. I have 1,000 people to send it to, I dont want to click yes everytime. Does someone know how to help me?
Pop up message:
A program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf.
Do you want to allow this?
If this is unexpected it could be a virus and you should select no.

This is caused by a security setting in all versions of outlook after office XP SP1. You can revert to an earlier version of outlook or if you have exchange server you can follow the instructions at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290499/EN-US/ to change the security configuration.

It should not ask you if you want it to send. There COULD be a virus but you don't say who your host it or if you're at work or home BUT..... there could be a limit on how many e-mails you can send out at one time. Many providers are limited the amount of e-mails you can send out at once.
Outlook itself will not give you that type of message - you can check your firewall in XP and see if there's a configuration there regarding e-mail. Also, if you're running Norton AV (I suspect), they may trigger such a message because it's unusual to send out that many e-mails at once and it "looks like a virus" when it's not.
The other thing you can do is buy a third party software meant for mass mailings and that software should bypass these types of messages. I suspect it's either the AV or your security settings. It should not be OUtlook itself.

Please read the following trojans definition and understand.
Then. Take these steps to kill the viruses.
OK
1. Back all your important data in a zip file.
2. Format your disk or infected drive (less secure).
3. Reinstall windows XP or as you own
4. Install McAfee Internet Security Suite
5. Update your Virus through internet via McAfee update site.
6. Scan your backed up data (Don't extract just scan the zip file
including other drives.)
7. Confirmed that no viruses left in your old data. else you might
got infected again.
Now, don't install PCcillin or Norton. Many viruses kill these softwares automatically.

It took some searching but I may have something for you to try.
I guess there is little help in this area so good luck:

here's another but requires VB programming (I think)

Sorry I lost the page with the VB code but found it by typing your message in yahoo search.
It looked like a pain anyway.
This error does deal with the updates and security though

Once the message pops out there should be a message on the bottom which says "Dont ask me again". Put the tick on it.

It might not be Outlook that this message is from. I get similar messages from my Symantec antivirus and/or Firewall. Try disabling your Firewall or taking it's protection level down a notch.
