SQL Mail setup

Hi,

I just wanted configure this, so the SQL server will be able send messages t
o
my mail address (or any other). Though my mail server exists in a Unix
machine, I have configured MS Outlook to pick mails from there, and tested
that it sends/recives.

My env. is Win XP, with SQL 2000, BUT does not have Exchange server.

What does it really need  if the SQL server has to send mails to users (now 
,
to my mail id)? This is what I understood.
1. COnfigure SQL Mail. This needs profile, and this profile must be availabl
e
in MS Outlook and able to send/receive mails
2. Configure Start -> Control Panel ->Mail ???
3. Any?

Thank you
Philipus
