I'm writing some automation code and need a good way to
bypass Outlook's security (yes/no) prompts. I am aware of
the solutions available via Outlook Redemption and Express
ClickYes.

Before I attempt to implement a third party solution, I
would first like to know whether is there a way to bypass
the prompts using digital signatures? Can I somehow use a
registered digital signature to get Outlook to trust my
own code?
 
You can bypass this if you write a COM write in. In the OnConnection event
of the COM addin, it will return you the Outlook::_Application object, set
it as global variable and have all your MAPI calls QI from that global
object.

Check the microeye site for detail.
 
Note that only Outlook 2003 "trusts" such properly created COM add-ins. In
other standalone environments, the security prompts still apply.
