Clock with '60x60' text.Let me start this blog post with negative note: SQL Server is not mass mailing software. If you are thinking of sending emails using SQL Server instead of your mail server – I suggest you stop doing that NOW! Whenever, I see any application using SQL Server as a mail server – I always vote against it. Well, if this is so bad, then why is it possible to send email through SQL Server. The reason is simple – there are many SQL Server Administrative scenarios where we need SQL Server to send emails, e.g. Maintenance task status, job failure messages, operators alerts etc. I suggest to use Database mail option during this situation. In this sixty second video, I show how to configure Database Mail quickly.
