You may have more probs than you know. Have you made sure first that your
ODBC setup is cool? You should be sure that you can manually add a user and
have him work with SQL7 before you add mailtool to the mix. Also, the
answer to can you add a user to the dB and just have him work is yes, but
not until the infrastructure is running right...
Good Luck
