Topic created on: January 19, 2007 19:48 CST by R3C0D3R .

Hello,

I am looking for reverse engineers who will do a good cause for Open Source software.

Basically we need a "good hack" to provide a DLL with an API for interfacing to MicroSoft Outlook Express for Open Source anti-Spam programs like SpamPal and Spamato.

We need integration with MSOE to allow the addition of toolbars and buttons, filtering of messages, moving messages to folders, etc.

This has already been done by commercial anti-spam programs, so has been demonstrated to be possible.

I do not have the working skills to do this chalenge myself so am turning the task over to the OpenRCE community.

I believe there's a plug-in architecture for Outlook that would enable you to do this without any RE.  Its OLE object might expose everything that you'd need.

MS Outlook is has a COM interface.

MS Outlook Express has no such programnmable inteface.

Outlook Express Application Program Interface is the best SDK to develop your plugin in Outlook Express ,It offers an interface to interact with Outlook Express from high-level languages as VB, Delphi or Python. Before OEAPI, any customization must have been done using application hooks

Its not open source and it costs $$$.

You should try contacting these guys. It seems they've managed to extend OE without any binary hacking.
