email notifications

All,
When i needed to use email notifications in the past with a sql cluster I had to "forward" events and messages to a non clustered server with a MAPI client installed. This is because outlook 2000 and previous was not cluster aware.
Does anyone know if Outlook 2003 is cluster aware?
Does anyone have a better alternative to using outlook for SQL email notofication? For a cluster?
TIA
Outlook 2003 is not cluster aware.
Try xpsmtp from www.sqldev.net as an alternative.

Blat is a command line E-Mail program that is relatively easy to use. You should be able to create a batch process to accomplish this.
