Issue
Sending emails from Vista 4.2.3
Environment
Vista 4.2.3
Cause
Previous versions of Vista required that Microsoft Outlook be installed to send emails. However with recent changes to Outlook this caused a dialog box to appear asking if it should send the email which came from a 3rd party program (Vista) before the email would be sent. Since the previous recommendation was to not install this security patch or use Outlook 2003 the interaction with Outlook and Vista has been removed in the recently released version of Vista.
Resolution
In Vista 4.2.3 the email are sent directly to a SMTP server rather then utilizing an email client such as Outlook. The settings for this new functionality are found in the Mail tab of the Server Setup program. It allows you to set the senders name, email address, text encoding method, authentication method used, and the domain name address or IP address of the SMTP server. All other settings and database objects should remain the same while these settings are used behind the scenes.
