I'm not sure it's a good idea to use your Exchange server as the means of notification on Exchange performance issues. It would seem more logical to take the Exchange server completely out of the loop - in case there's a serious, disabling performance problem which could prevent delivery of the notification email. You're probably better off using Blat, or something like it, going to a secondary email account somewhere (perhaps a pager?).

Both require a messaging profile, and don't send through the SMTP service, but as Outlook would. The very easiest way to do what you want is to compose an RFC-822-formatted message and copy it to the appropriate IMS server's exchsrvr\imcdata\pickup directory (Exchange 5.5, in Exchange 2000 it's the virtual server's pickup directory). See the FAQ for more details on the format of this message. You can do the entire job in a batch file.

Basically what I wanted to do was set up some performance alerts, and notify myself when anything went over a certain threshold. I used a script called sendmail from technet, that takes some command line parameters and sends an email with a local machine's smtp service.. Works great, only, not when run from a batch file via a performance alert. Does anybody know why you can't run scripts from this program, or what a better solution might be? (Without going to 3rd party software).
