That should be 'c:\\dbs.txt' or r'c:\dbs.txt'

I'm unsure what those cast(NULL, ...) are supposed to do, but they look
all wrong. NULL, as defined on that script, is *not* a C NULL pointer (use
None for that).
(In fact the whole script doesn't look well at all - do you *have* to use
MAPI? can't use SMTP instead? Even if you must use MAPI, try the pywin32
package from Mark Hammond, it has MAPI support and a demo script for
sending mail)

This declares a new type, an array of len(RecipWork) items, each of type
MapiRecipDesc
> rda = MapiRecipDesc_A() # isn't it MapiRecipDesc as declared??
This creates an instance of the above array.
