    SQL Agent mail profile on cluster fail over

    I have sql 2000 sp4 running on a cluster, we had to fail over to other cluster, and now the sql agent choice to use a mail profile is grayed out. I can go to sql mail and test the profile and it works, but I can't change it for the sql agent? Anyone seen this before

    Found out when they failed over last week, for some reason, one of the network guys thought setting the sql server agent to a local account was a good idea. Changed it to sqlexec account and now it works fine

    SQL Mail is not a cluster aware application so it does not fail over when SQL Server fails over.
