  • EXEC master.dbo.xp_sendmail

    @recipients = N'danw@Adventure-Works.com',

    @query = N'SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES',

    @subject = N'SQL Server Report',

    @message = N'The contents of INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES:',

    @attach_results = 'TRUE',

    @width = 250 ;

  • In my opinion, you should be migrating away from xp_smtpsendmail in your SQL Server 2005 install as Database Mail using SMTP and also is now asynchronous through it's use of Service Broker.

    It can also help you reduce the surface area of your SQL Server by allowing you to disable use of extended procedures (if you aren't using them elsewhere).
