all great points, guys.. thanks

we have a simple alternative, we're passing the strings (send to, cc, 
subject, message body, etc) to another little app that pushes it all 
directly thru the ISP.. bypassing the direct interaction with Outlook and 
its' MAPI interface.. only one customer reported a problem so far, and 
updating an SSL certificate took care of that

our actual content is the heart of the problem.. we frequently have 
attachments, often have html code, our vendor batches even have a submit 
button buried in the html code.. so yeah, we understand why there's a 
problem :-)

the only remaining stumbling block is getting this alternative to create an 
entry in the Sent box.. but we'll figure it out

the big app I'm working on uses the paradox mail function heavily, in house
and externally.. just finally consolidated his mail stuff into one central
process.. there were over 100 separate mail calls in the app

anyhow.. Win10 doesn't like 3rd-party MAPI calls, and is now throwing up a
password confirmation box, sometimes.. if you don't enter your password, it
sends an error back to paradox, and the email isn't sent

and FYI for those who don't use the mail function, and are reading this for
casual knowledge, you can't trap for true/false on the send() function.. and
it seems it returns true all the time on the sendDLG() function, even if you
don't send the email yourself.. it's essentially a black box

right now, three people are getting that often but not every time, over the
course of the day, and a couple of people are starting to get it
occasionally.. researching the hell out of it, but not having much luck.. no
specific clue as to why these particular people are getting it, and others
doing the same stuff are not.. it's a terminal server setup, so they're all
running in the same environment, in theory

we're almost done with the alternative, now that we have one central process
to replace, but in the meantime.. anyone else dealing with this? any clues?
