We are using MS SQL Server 7.0 with all patches. The DBA that configured that system is no longer with the company and his email account has been removed.
The system does not have an email client installed or configured. The server sends a messagesdirectly to the SMTP Mail server using "his account and profile." Like I mentioned earlier the account has been deleted.
I am still getting email blasts from this account. It is driving me crazy. We just recently editied the registry and and replaced this username and account with a valid one and it did not repair the problem.

Look for an email profile on the server. When SQL was installed, it asked for and recorded a profile name. It is that profile which you must change.

If the Mail applet does not appear in the Control Panel, install a client, then change the profile.

Good luck.

No email account was installed on this machine and if so where can this be modified?
