Hi Guys,

I've been working as a DBA for a while now and was always told to use CDOSYSmail instead of configuring XP_sendmail on ay server

I'm no looking at moving forward and was wondering if using Databasemail is better and safer than using CDOSYSmail

Just looking for opinions on what people use etc really?

If you're on SQL 2005 or higher, Database Mail all the way.

I agree with robvolk - database mail is a much better option.
