I have configured SQL Mail to work with our exchange server and it was really straightforward surprisisngly.

If you have an exchange server and use SQL 2000 than read.

Within SQL Enterprise manager and expands your server node, you should see 'Support services. Beneath this should reveal a child node called SQL MAIL.

Right click this node and click properties, enter your exchange server. This should be valid MAPI profile, ie. Outlook should be setup on the machine to send and recieve emails.

Click Test, and your MAPI service will be started and stopped, if this succeeds than you have won a prize of following my
instructions.


Goto SQL Query Analyser and enter the following:-

EXEC master xp_sendmail 'someone@somewhere.com',
@subject = 'SQL Server Report',
@message = 'This is a test to see how I can send email messages',


Hope this helps
