sql server notification services: Hi,

We are looking for custom channels for SQL Server 2005 Notification
Services for sending to fax, printer and email (SMTP, preferably with
attachments, which AFAIK the built-in NS SMTP does not support). Can
you give me any pointers?

Thanks,

Hi Shaul -

I've been meaning to blog about developing a custom channel....maybe
your post will prompt me to move it higher on the priority list. :)

In the meantime, if memory serves me (I don't have it in front of me
at the moment) Shyam's book discusses this topic and gives examples.

Also, a couple of years ago, another poster offered his code to the
group. I've never used it so I cannot offer any commentary on it, but
it may be good for a start. BTW - his posting was for a prior version
of the SSNS, but the concepts should still largely apply.
