Security warning? I'm curious what action was reported as insecure.

The message I get is "A program is trying to automatically send an email on your behalf. Do you want to allow this? Yes or No"

The reason I am sending an email to myself is because I am running overnight jobs and want an email sent to me with certain messages etc.

Thank you for clarification. Perhaps you should also provide some code sample which would try to send the message; how exactly you do it.
I don't know the answer, but someone would need some more information to help you.
