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.
Thanks

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.

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.

Regards

Sharad

That event you can't catch.

solutions and workarounds see ItemsCB on the Resources page at

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.
