I recently had an incident where a virus sent an email to every one in
my address book. I considered altering each contact email address to
make it invalid but discovered they appear to be uneditable. I was
going to prepend something like "noway" to the address domain which
could be fixed when sending a message. is there a way to do this or a
way to prevent the address book from being used except interactively.
We are on exchange server 2000 and outlook 2003. thanks for reading.

Outlook 2003 will ALWAYS ask if an ill-behaved application is trying to
access the address book and you must approve it.
