I am trying to send mail via sql server using xp_sendmail. I understand SQl server uses MAPI to do so. Is there a way to interface SQl server directly to SMTP. The reason is that I want to connect to an exchnage server behind a firewall and if I use MAPI I will have to open up way too many ports for that.

Thanks'

I wrestled with this issue for a few weeks. I'm told that, no, it must connect directly to an Exchange server. We ended up loading Exchange on a machine in the same domain, which was not what we wanted to do, but apparently the only solution. Robert Bradley
