xp_startmail is documented as returning two code: 0 success, 1 failure.
It would be nice to check the return code.
When mail has already been started it returns a 1. This case appears
indistinguishable from a failure to start. (MSFT should have provided
separate return codes for failure-already started, and failure-cannot
start, but they did not.)
Does anyone know how to distinguish these cases. Text is printed
indicating that it has already been started but I don't know how to
programmatically grab this case.
It seems the conventional workaround is not to check the return code at
all (or to start mail once at server startup and never start it again).
Neither is ideal.
Suggestions?
Thanks,

Hi
You don't say what your client is written in! ADO has an errors collection
that should contain the error, see the topic "Handling Errors and Messages
in ADO" for an overview.

"You don't say what your client is written in!"
No client. This is a SQL Stored Procedure (invoked by a sql job, but
that is irrelevant) in which I wish to call xp_startmail and
distinguish between "failure, already started" and "failure, won't
start".
Did you test it in ADO or are you offering general advice?

Hi
With ADO/ODBC occasions such as when a status of SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO you
can get the messages and interogate them. The options seem to be assume
that SQLMail is running and not start it every time, or to explicity stop it
first ignoring any errors which it throws up.
You may want to look at: http://www.sqldev.net/xp/xpsmtp.htm as a different
way to send emails.
