Hi,

I'm running a SPROC that will send an email on a certain condition when it runs. As far as I understand only SA has permission to send emails.

I'm wondering, is there a best way to set up something like this as far as permissions go ?

Any thoughts much appreciated!

Thanks again,
mike123

Hey Peso,

I have never done this before but was hoping to send from SQL directly, do I need any special add ins ?

Thanks again! :)

and there is db_sendmail.

Use the database mail in SQL itself. You don't need to install anything. Just set it up and put the SMTP Server name in here.
On SQL Agent you have to enable this
