You need to set up a mail profile for the SQL server service account. You
can find information on how to do this by looking up SQL Mail in the Books
Online. You then need to start the mail services and make sure SQL can
start and stop the mail service. There are a couple bugs you should be
aware of:
1. Use the Client Network Utility to make sure the default network library
is set to Named Pipes. If not you will get an unable to log on to SQL
server error when you use xp_sendmail.
2. If you want to use sp_processmail to have SQL process incoming email
queries, you have to manually edit the sp_processmail procedure. The
need to change those to varchar(128).
Good luck,
