SQL Mail

  • I don't know if anyone else shares this feeling but I can't rely on this option anymore. I have been pinched one many times on the reliability of this. That being said, can anyone recommend a product that they use to help monitor SQL jobs and SQL errorlogs to inform me of a problem? I have to monitor about 60 servers for this.

    Thanks!

  • I use smtp to send emails. If you have access to a server i feel that is the best way. I kickoff a visual basic script to do it.

  • You can also use alerts and track ur error messsages and other processes in SQL Server. Mail if any alert occurs.

  • Hi,

    I have implmented XP_SMTP_MAIL ( http://www.sqldev.net/xp/xpsmtp.htm&nbsp and created some wrapper stored procedures to call the module.

    To implement this, you need access to an SMTP server.

    Hope this helps.
