    Hi All,

    I will be hosting my website using a hosting package and the ones i have seen do not allow the use of the database mail. So what is the best way to do this? I have a table that is called unsentmail in my db which contains the rows. the columns are to, subject,  body...

    Any ideas?

    Hi,

    If you cannot use Database mail, I think you can try SQL Mail instead, which provides a way to send, receive, delete, and process e-mail.

    Please refer to the documents below:
