Disable a mail-merge warning dialoge-box

[AV-6807831]

Having set up an email for mail-merge dispatch I now get a repeated warning dialogue-box between the dispatch of each email, which I have to click before each email can be sent. It reads


"A program is trying to send a email message on your behalf. If this is unexpected, click Deny and check that your Antivirus software is up to date.
Fir more information about email safety, and how you might be able to avoid getting this message, click Help"

Well, I've clicked Help but failed to find how to stop the wretched thing. Last time I had to sit for ten minutes clicking "Allow" for over a hundred emails.
Can anyone tel me how to disable this dialogue-box, please.

Using Word/MSOffice2007 XP

I'm sure there's a way, but if you don't get the real response, here's a possible work around. Get one email the way you want it in the Outlook outbox. Open that email in the outbox. Paste the other 99 emails in the BCC field.

Sounds OK, but will work when I am using on data fields from an Excel page?

I have been able to cut and paste relatively non-formatted email address lists into the bcc fields before, but I can't remember the exact procedure I used. I think I was able to copy a column of email addresses and simply press ctrl+V in the Bcc field in Outlook once.

Another time, I pasted them into Notepad first to turn them into straight text before pasting into Outlooks BCC field, but I'm really not sure that step is necessary.

Also be aware that different email providers set different limits on the number of names you can have in a BCC. GoDaddy is high at 99. Others might be 50 or so.

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply, BM, but I don't see your scheme working in my case, because my email messages are dotted with data from an Excel table. So the content of each email is considerably different to another. It isn't just a matter of sending the same email to a large list of recipients. The content changes according to who the recipient is.
Does anybody else know how to stop the dialogue-box?

[BrazzellMarketing]

Yes that's right. The BCC field is only helpful if everyone is getting the exact same content.

No responses on how to disable that message? Okay, here's another possible solution for the future that isn't exactly what you're requesting: SendBlaster.com. I use an older version from time to time, and it works well. In the version I have, I think you need to know HTML pretty well to make very attractive, high graphic emails with this software, but they may have upgraded this in the newer versions. It allows for insertion of custom data fields (like Word), it merges directly from your Excel or CSV files, and it sends emails directly through your internet connection. So it won't throw that warning message every time. You can download a trial version for free that lets you test it by sending 10 emails at a time.

Thanks BM. I'll have a look at that.
Your suggestion has prompted me to wonder if Open Office has a mailmerge email option that might do the job. I have Open Office already installed, so that would be convenient - and cheap.

Has anyone discovered a solution to this problem? I am having the same issue.

I am still assuming there is a permissions setting somewhere in the newer Windows that lets you tell it to trust a particular program and stop throwing up warnings.

Alternatively, check out Mail Chimp's free email service. They let you email a list up to 2,000 people for free, and the free service does include merge tags. http://mailchimp.com/pricing/free/
