Thank you for the links but just to clarify: I have to send each student a random individual password (so that they can login to set up their test taking software). The password is currently generated by a script that then proceeds to email it to each student. Sometimes I have to send individualized assignments (also randomly generated by computer algebra software). My personal email server makes it straightforward but I do not see how it is possible with MS. I guess a cleverly written IMAP client can do that for me but I cannot use IMAP, alas. The university policy is basically 'disable everything that can make using outlook bearable' (this last sentence should compensate for the ambiguous grammar you pointed out :)
