I use cloudmark spamnet and recently upgraded to Outlook 2002 SP3. 
Spamnet is amazing at filtering all my spam, but now I get the
following error whenever it runs:

"A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in
Outlook.  Do you want to allow this?"

And then it lets me click Yes, No, or allow access for 1, 2, 5, or 10 minutes.

I would like to either temporarily disable these warnings until
cloudmark comes up with a better fix, or modify the dialog so I can
select 99,999 minutes and I won't have to click this more than once a
day.

I don't want to remove SP3, but if there was a registry setting I
could add to disable these or something along those lines that would
be great.  I don't want to lower ALL my outlook security though as
that would obviously pose other problems, I just don't want this one
dialog.

Unfortunately, the security confirmation dialog box is embedded within
Outlook, and cannot be disabled using a registry key change.

Microsoft introduced this enhancement in Outlook 2000 SP1 with SR1, as
a response to the plague of mass-mailing worms that appeared a few
years ago. Since then, of course, worm-writers have gotten smarter,
meaning that most of the time this security dialog causes mostly
annoyance for the user, with minimal enhancement to actual security.

While there are suggested work-arounds involving restoring older
versions of some files for Outlook 2000, this does not apply to
Outlook 2002.

Instead, there is a free, third-party software aide that can help
relieve the annoyance part of this problem for you:

Express ClickYes - a program to solve Outlook's Security Guard Problems

In my own testing, this works for Outlook 2002 SP3. I hope it works
for you as well!

After further testing of Outlook 2002 SP3, I've noticed that MS has
introduced yet another unexpected 'feature'. For anyone who uses MS
Word as their default e-mail editor (and since that's the default
setting for anyone installing MS Office, there's a lot of people that
are affected by this), there is a high likelihood that Outlook now
sees MS Word as a foreign program. That means that every time an
affected person clicks on the New Message button, this security pop-up
appears. Fortunately, the freeware app I have directed you to, handles
this without any problems. So, until MS fixes their latest unexpected
'feature', anyone using the ClickYes application will have one less
thing to annoy them.

Thanks!

The best solution would actually be to just upgrade to the newest
SpamNet which fixes the problem:
