Setting up database mail in SQL Server 2005

Database Mail, a new addition to the SQL Server 2005 database engine, is as simple to use as it is useful. Destined to be the replacement for SQL Mail, Database Mail uses a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server to send e-mails rather than using the MAPI accounts that SQL Mail required.

This allows your organization to send e-mails with attachments, e-mail query results, attach query results, and format HTML e-mails. It also gives you the ability to set many other configuration settings without requiring you to have an Exchange Server or configuring any type of MAPI workaround.
