xp_smtp This SQL Server extended stored procedure can be used as a replacement for xp_sendmail. It removes the need to set up MAPI mailboxes and/or use Microsoft Exchange when all you need is the ability to send email from within SQL Server.  Download  Size: 48k Licence This component is free for non-commercial use.

Installation and usage Use the system stored procedure sp_addextendedproc to install the XP: exec sp_addextendedproc 'xp_smtp', 'c:\mssql7\binn\xpsmtp.dll' In the above example, the DLL has been copied to the SQL Server directory. Once it is installed, it can be used like so: exec xp_smtp 'mail.server.com', 'sender@server.com', 'recvr@somewhere.co.uk', 'testing!','this is a test' Calling the procedure with no parameters will show a short usage message. Implementation The component uses the SMTP features of CDO to send the message. See this page on Microsft's site for more details.
