| With help from board participants, I have successfully setup SQL Server 2000 to send mail via Outlook 2000. I have 2 questions.1. Is it unusual for a mail session, executed from query analyzer, to take up to 10 seconds to return from a simple xp_sendmail 'emailaddress', 'test' message?The MAPI server it talks to is not local to my network and I think that is probably where most of the delay occurs but some real world idea of a time expectation would help determine whether further tuning is required.2. I have used Outlook 2000 as a simple Internet email client for awhile so I have been insulated from the details of mail profile setup. Right now, Outlook grabs the mail it sends out via xp_sendmail to a certain email address. Of course, it's mine and I am not sure where I have set it up to make Outlook grab this mail. I would like it to stop. If I send mail to other email addresses, it gets there fine and Outlok doesn't grab it. The option to disable checking for mail for a specific account is no longer an opion under the accounts menu. (Accounts selection doesn't exist due, I figure, to Outlook being setup to look for Mail profiles.)Thanks for any help you can give. |
