MORE INFORMATION

You can set up SQL Server to send mail messages with Microsoft Mail 3.x. In Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0, you can only send a mail message through Microsoft Exchange Server in a SQL Server environment. If Windows NT Server 3.51 is upgraded to Windows NT Server 4.0 with a Microsoft Mail messaging environment for SQL Server, new MAPI DLLs are overwritten as the Microsoft Mail client is upgraded to the Windows NT Server Windows Messaging System (WMS).
