mail without mapi

Hi All,
I've got a SQL cluster in its own domain that I need to get notifications
from when the maintenance jobs fail. If I can't use an outlook mapi client
to send mail how can I get notified that jobs fail? Someone said I could use
SMTP mail but I don't know how to do this. Please help.
TIA!!

Use xpsmtp from www.sqldev.net. I have used this in clustered environments
for a long time and have had zero problems.
