Many users of Microsoft Outlook have experienced warnings about “another program trying to send emails on your behalf…” or something similar. In Microsoft Office 2003 and earlier, the send to next recipient menu item (i.e. the feature that Microsoft removed that allowed users to route documents sequentially via a routing slip) would cause these messages on many machines. This could only be turned off by editing the registry (specifically, by changing the CheckAdminSettings value).
Office Routing Plus not only restores the routing slip features that were in Word and Excel 2003, but it adds many other features and enhancements, including a fix to these annoying security issues. As of February 2010, these security alerts will no longer show in ORP.

Redemption safely communicates with Outlook with no security warnings. It also allows .net programmers to hook into Outlook at deeper levels than what is available in the Microsoft Outlook API.
