Extended Stored Procedure

start mail session enables and disables the automatic initiation of an Adaptive Server mail session when you start Adaptive Server.

A value of 1 configures Adaptive Server to start a mail session the next time Adaptive Server is started. A value of 0 configures Adaptive Server not to start a mail session at the next restart.

If start mail session is 0, you can start an Adaptive Server mail session explicitly, using the xp_startmail system ESP.

Before setting start mail session, you must prepare your Windows system by creating a mailbox and mail profile for Adaptive Server. Then, create an Adaptive Server account for Sybmail. See the Configuration Guide for Windows.
