Our application uses Simple MAPI to send e-mails. One of our clients has problems sending e-mail from a session on his terminal server.
The mapi32.dll is loaded with a call to LoadLibrary which succeeds, but then our application tries to get the addresses of the functions MAPILogon, MAPILogOff, MAPISendMail, MAPIFreeBuffer and MAPIResolveName. The problem is that GetProcAddress fails for those functions with an ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (code: 5) except for MAPIFreeBuffer. It looks like some sort of security thing.
How can I fix this or should I use another method to send mail?

I'm on Delphi 7.0, but that shouldn't matter.

I found the problem. As you can see in my question the mapi32.dll is provided by Exchange server. (Version 6.5.7226 = Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 SP1). According to this site Exchange 2003 does not support Simple MAPI for security reasons:
As of Exchange 2003, Exchange no longer implements Simple MAPI. The API was removed to reduce the potential attack surface
So that is the reason I cannot get the ProcAddresses of the Simple MAPI calls.
It looks like I have to go support Extended MAPI.
