i am trying to configure a mail acccount on a sql server8.0 to mail alerts at the start/end or failure of a load.

i have configured the mail account(distribution group) on the server
iam able to send mails but unable to receive mails
when i try to run a dts package with a task,

DECLARE @RowCount int, @msg varchar(255)

SET @msg = 'Test start '

EXEC Master.dbo.xp_sendmail @recipients = 'dw@x.net',
@message = @msg,
@subject = 'start'

i get a error msg-
Server: Msg 18030, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
xp_sendmail: Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client.

My mail client is outlook6 and sql ver is 8.0
is it a client problem or do i have to change any settings

MS recommended to us that we use Outlook 2002/XP version. So try using that instead.
