--Name    : sp_SQLSMTPMail
--Server   : Generic
--Description : SQL smtp e-mail using CDOSYS, OLE Automation and a
--       network smtp server; For SQL Servers running on
--       windows 2000.
--
--Note    : Be sure to set the default for @SMTPServer above to
--       the company network smtp server or you will have to
--       pass it in each time.
--
--Comments  : Getting the network SMTP configured to work properly
--       may require engaging your company network or
--       server people who deal with the netowrk SMTP server.
--       Some errors that the stored proc returns relate to
--       incorrect permissions for the various SQL Servers to
--       use the SMTP relay server to bouce out going mail.
--       Without proper permissions the SQL server appears as
--       a spammer to the local SMTP network server.
--
--Parameters : See the 'Syntax' Print statements below or call the
--       sp with '?' as the first input.
