xp_sendmail
@recipients='graz@sqlteam.com',
@subject='The Yaks are loose again',
@Message='Summon the Yak Herders!'


If you can tell me how to do this I would really appreciate it.
Thank You

If you're not in master, don't forget master..

So, it would be:

master..xp_sendmail
@recipients='graz@sqlteam.com',
@subject='The Yaks are loose again',
@Message='Summon the Yak Herders!'

Have you actually set SQL Mail up ?

And if its not the first statement in the batch include the exec as well as the reference to master exec master.dbo.xp_sendmail.....

Here's a few links for setting up SQL Mail and common problems
