Thanks for the response.  I logged in as the sqlserviceagent this morning and set up the Database Mail from the server, then restarted the sql agent and for the most part it's now working.

The only part that's not working (and maybe it doesn't work this way), but the names in the operator property email address field do not resolve.  You have to type in a fully qualified email address or multiples for it to send out emails.

So, the question now is How do I get it to resolve the names (i.e. look up the names when creating a list of emails for an operator), or does it do that as an option?

Thanks, tony
