To all,

Want to start using the xp_sendmail function in SQL Server 2000, was
playing about with it yesterday but couldn't get it to work.....The
error message I get is:

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]xp_sendmail: Your SQL
Server Service is running under the local system account.  You need to
change your SQL Server Service account to run under a domain account in
order to complete this operation.

Can anyone guide me to exactly what I have to do to get it to work ?

Thanks in advance for any help on this....
