Only a idea: try to clear the filename after sending the e-mail with
filename outbox clear;
Something changed?
Are you sure, that the warning comes from OUTLOOK? It might be your
Internet Security software or anti-virus-software, which tracks that to
avoid, that a trojan horse sends e-mails with your banking data to
people who try to get them! That task is a very important one! A good
security tool should control the mail-traffic and should know, if
something "unknown" besides your e-mail client tries to send a e-mail.
You should examine, if there is any possibility to tell that tool, that
it is not only OUTLOOK which sends e-mails. That should be possible. You
could tell us, what you are using in that content, so someone might have
knowledge about the product and could help.
