Possible to setup SQL Mail w/o installing Outlook?

I just installed Windows 2003 Server and SQL Server 2000. I would like to
use SQL Mail. We had did this on our WinNt/SQL 7 boxes by creating a mail
profile in Outlook.
Is it possible to setup SQL Server Mail services without installing Outlook?
I remember in NT there was a mail icon in the Control Panel, this isn't
there anymore in 2003.
Thanks
ckanekoYou don't have to have Exchange, but it is my understanding to set up SQL
Mail you need have the Outlook client installed so you can create a mail
profile. Here is an article that might help:

se a MAPI client and you only need to send mail take a look at xpsmtp. dev.net/xp/xpsmtp.htm" target="_blank">http://sql

"Another application is trying to send email on behalf of you...do you want
to allow?" Maybe someone knows a way around this? So...I use Outlook 2000.
