Earlier this week, I published a link to several Microsoft documents that walk you through the installation of SQLMail. I promised a followup to that article, so here ya go.

Steve writes: "How is it possible to have someone send either an email or an attachment(in a specified format)from a standard email program so that the information is entered into a database?

Yep, this is possible, and wow is it cool. Read on for the answer to this question as well as detailed information on SQLMail.

Just a quick note to say there is a slight problem with the loop in the article not returning. The default behaviour of xp_findnextmsg is to find all mail whether its been marked read or not thus you will just get an infinite loop as @hMessage will never be NULL.Fixed here
