Sending mail using CDONTS and Sql Server
This stored procedure can be used to send mail through CDONTS and SQL Server. It resides in the Master database and accepts email addresses and subjects with a maximum of 50 characters and a body with a maximum of 500 characters. (You can increase or decrease these according to your requirements.) For this stored procedure to run, CDONTS must be installed on the database server.
