There are two options to use SMTP email,

1. Use CDOSYS object in transact-sql
2. Use a freeware called XPSMTP

Hey,

U can create a package and have the mailer component send a mail from the package.

Let me know if that helps!

tooo many process involved.

for a simple email you have to call shell - which calls dtsrun - which calls a DTS - which takes the right data from a table and send email.
