Creating Custom Simple Mapi DLL, fails when executing - c++

Question

i need to create small dll to intercept simple mapi calls and send files via:
file->Send to as attachment (in excel, word, acrobat reader...)
or via explorer->rightclickmenu->Send to->Mail recipient
to attach to gmail.
after reading this:
Mapi32.dll Stub Registry Settings (Windows)
Mapi32 Stub Library (Windows)
and searching here on stackoverflow and other webs i have created one very small dll using code::blocks that shows me information for investigating the process.
I have installed it on registry correctly like indicated in previous links on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\SimpMapi.
I have selected on my win xp pro in control panel->Internet options my SimpMapi client.
when i open excel write some cells and go to File->Send like attachment dll shows me that first calls MapiLogon, second calls MapiSendMail and third when i close excel it calls MapiLogoff, but then it throws an error and closes excel.exe.
If i try it from explorer window right clicking one file and SendTo->Mail recipient it calls directly MapiSendMail and when i click on ok in MsgBox it throws an error and closes explorer.exe
Could you help me to find out what is wrong.
This is the mail.h file:

In link: Creating Custom Simple Mapi DLL, throws error when executing
Andy helped me to solve the problem that was incorrect calling convention.
Adding WINAPI to all my Simple MAPI function declarations and definitions it worked, example:
extern "C" ULONG DLL_EXPORT WINAPI MAPILogon( // etc
Then the problem was that my exported functions were exported with declarations.
To correct this in code::blocks you have to add in:
Main menu: Project -> Build options -> GNU GCC Compiler -> Linker settings -> Other linker options: -Wl,--kill-at
Thanks!
