Sometimes we unknowingly or by mistake we may send official/important emails to our personal email ids (or other external email ids). To prevent those instance(s), we can make use of VBA from MS-Outlook 2010.
Technically, below event triggers while we click on Send button (of course Alt + S :P)
Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
If Item.Class <> olMail Then Exit Sub
Dim sCompanyDomain As String: sCompanyDomain = "companydomain.com"
Const PidTagSmtpAddress As String = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x39FE001E"
On Error Resume Next
Dim oMail As MailItem: Set oMail = Item
Dim oRecipients As Recipients: Set oRecipients = oMail.Recipients
Dim bDisplayMsgBox As Boolean: bDisplayMsgBox = False
Dim sExternalAddresses As String
Dim oRecipient As Recipient
For Each oRecipient In oRecipients
Dim oProperties As PropertyAccessor: Set oProperties = oRecipient.PropertyAccessor
Dim smtpAddress As String: smtpAddress = oProperties.GetProperty(PidTagSmtpAddress)
Debug.Print smtpAddress
If (Len(smtpAddress) >= Len(sCompanyDomain)) Then
If (Right(LCase(smtpAddress), Len(sCompanyDomain)) <> sCompanyDomain) Then
' external address found
If (sExternalAddresses = "") Then
sExternalAddresses = smtpAddress
Else
sExternalAddresses = sExternalAddresses & ", " & smtpAddress
End If
bDisplayMsgBox = True
End If
End If
Next
If (bDisplayMsgBox) Then
Dim iAnswer As Integer
iAnswer = MsgBox("You are about to send this email externally to " & sExternalAddresses & vbCr & vbCr & "Do you want to continue?", vbExclamation + vbYesNo, "External Email Check - Srinivas G")
If (iAnswer = vbNo) Then
Cancel = True
End If
End If
End Sub
