I want to be able to use SQLMail to send me alerts on
task failures, etc. Microsoft says we have to use a MAPI
client like MS Outlook to take advantage of this feature.
However, when I talk with my system administrators about
placing Outlook or similar mail clients on the server
they get all upset and scream about security. Are there
alternatives to Outlook that are more secure or less
intrusive or anything that would make the sa's happy and
still be able to use SQLMail?
