  • If you turn it ON, you can send mail from SQL Server.

    If you leave it OFF, you can't.

    No seriously, it's a very vague question. Is there anything in particular you want to know?

  • this way you can send alerts and results from queries. An example of the way I have used this in the past. I had a SQL Server that was processing data all day from customers that were sending it to us. If we fell behind by 15 minutes we were missing an SLA. So every 5 min. I would run a query to see how old the oldest record to be processed was. If it was older than 5 min, alerts would go out to everyone on the IT Team.
