--Name : sp_SQLSMTPMail
--Server : Generic
--Description : SQL smtp e-mail using CDOSYS, OLE Automation and a
-- network smtp server; For SQL Servers running on
-- windows 2000.
--
--Note : Be sure to set the default for @vcSMTPServer above to
-- the company network smtp server or you will have to
-- pass it in each time.
--
--Comments : Getting the network SMTP configured to work properly
-- may require engaging your company network or
-- server people who deal with the netowrk SMTP server.
-- Some errors that the stored proc returns relate to
-- incorrect permissions for the various SQL Servers to
-- use the SMTP relay server to bouce out going mail.
-- Without proper permissions the SQL server appears as
-- a spammer to the local SMTP network server.
--
--Parameters : See the 'Syntax' Print statements below or call the
-- sp with '?' as the first input.
