I am new to this forum and this quesion may already have been answered before.
I am trying to write a Windows Service to send outgoing email using the Lotus Notes API - However, whenever I call the LNNotesSession.Init() method I get password prompt.
How do I get to Initialize the session so that I do not get password prompt?
Any pointers will be appreciated.

The most generic technique involves intercepting the Notes password prompt with the EM_GETPASSWORD extension manager hook. This might not work in your specific environment, but it might be worth investigation.

This works great for me. I used the extpwd sample from the CAPI to add the extnsion manager hook.The only problem that I foresee is keeping the password.txt file in synch with the Notes Password.

why not give sso a try? you only need have to make shure it matches your domain/windows pwd.
and users get prompted “your password does not match, please change…”.
this way you do not loose security (at least its more secure than using textfiles:)

I would be loathe to argue that Windows network passwords provide more security than text files.

The easiest way is to clear your Notes ID password.
Or…start the Notes client and select “Don’t prompt a password from other Notes-based programs” in User Security dialog.
