I tried using : sp_send_dbmail
But I got the following error:
Msg 15281, Level 16, State 1,
Procedure sp_send_dbmail, Line 0
SQL Server blocked access to procedure
‘dbo.sp_send_dbmail’ of component
‘Database Mail XPs’ because this
component is turned off as part of the
security configuration for this
server.
A system administrator can
enable the use of ‘Database Mail XPs’
by using sp_configure. For more
information about enabling ‘Database
Mail XPs’, see “Surface Area
Configuration” in SQL Server Books
Online.
I also tried to use this code to send SMTP mail in SQL Server 2008 R2 EXPRESS:

But I am getting the following error:
Msg 15281, Level 16, State 1,
Procedure sp_OACreate, Line 1
SQL Server blocked access to procedure
‘sys.sp_OACreate’ of component ‘Ole
Automation Procedures’ because this
component is turned off as part of the
security configuration for this
server. A system administrator can
enable the use of ‘Ole Automation
Procedures’ by using sp_configure. For
more information about enabling ‘Ole
Automation Procedures’, see “Surface
Area Configuration” in SQL Server
Books Online.
I went to the “Facets” to check the security options there, but there is nothing about “Surface Area Configuration”! Is it missing because I am using the Express version of the SQL Server 2008 R2? Or am I going in the wrong direction?
If you have any better code/suggestion for sending mail in SQL Server 2008, please let me know. Thanks!
It turned out that the SQL Server 2008 R2 EXPRESS edition has no mail feature supported.
