Interesting article. Apart from automating delivery of error messages and alerts, I've never considered using SQL Server as a mailing list server. I'm trying to think of a scenario where I'd choose this method over the other possibilities. If I had a massive mailing list, as mentioned in the article, I'd probably use a dedicated mail server. Could be I'm just not thinking about it hard enough... maybe someone out there has some scenarios where this would be a superior method?

Thanks
