Hi..

I'm on an exchange 2003 environment.
I will be needing to send out an email to every users contacts (in
their contacts folder).
How would I go about doing this? I've seen posts about using a public
folder to store the contacts, but we don't do that here and need to
find another way to go about it.

Any help or direction would be appreciated.
 
Write code to iterate every contact in every mailbox or manually open every Contacts folder with the File | Open | Outlook Data File command so you can get to each folder and send a message.

I presume you have a written internal policy in place on usage of data stored in each user's mailbox and how privacy of that data will be handled? If not, you're probably opening a huge can of worms.
