The application we are using requires SQL Server service to be set up that way, which I am looking into.

Thanks,
Todd."

Why would an application care about which account SQL Server uses for the service? That just doesn't make sense.

The services must not use the local system account for SQL Mail. Using the local system account is definitely not the recommended approach anyway.

Not only not recommended, I don't think it is possible to run SQLMail with Local System.
