We continually had SQL Mail problems until a little while ago. It kept failing with different errors. The only way that we could get it to work would be to reboot the machine. We had a few MS calls in and nothing was ever fixed until they suggested installing Outlook 2002. That has solved all of our SQL Mail problems! I don't know, nor do I really care since it isn't failing anymore. SQL Mail has been working for the past couple of months without a single failure. Before, we had failures about once a week.

Good Luck!
