MS SQL and Novell Groupwise

[Wcuff]

Hello,
Is there any way to have the SQL Server 2000 communicate with and send mail messages to the Novell Groupwise mail system. My company uses Groupwise and it would help if I could be notified if problems occur.
Thanks

I don't have any experience with Groupwise. Perhaps the following will help.

Microsoft does not support using SQL Mail to communicate with mail servers such as Lotus Notes, Lotus cc:Mail, or Novell GroupWise unless they are treated as POP3 servers.

Q5: Can I use SQL Mail with mail servers like Lotus Notes or Novell Groupwise?

A5: You can use SQL Mail with third-party mail servers like Lotus Notes or Novell Groupwise; however, this configuration is only supported if the third-party mail server is configured as an Internet mail server.

While it may be possible to configure Microsoft Outlook client to work with third-party mail servers, the use of the e-mail clients provided with those mail servers is not supported for use with SQL Mail. These e-mail clients provide their own implementation of the MAPI messaging subsystem, and have not been tested for use with SQL Mail.

If you want to get the best answer for your question read faq183-874 and faq183-3179.
