Do I need to have a POP3 server if SQL Mail will never receive mail?

Solution:

Unless you have set up SQL Mail with an Exchange server for inbound e-mail, you must have a working POP3 server even if mail will never be received on the server. The reason for this is that Microsoft Outlook first checks the POP3 incoming mail server before it sends outgoing e-mail. If there is no valid POP3 incoming mail server, outgoing e-mail could be delayed, never sent, or SQL Mail can stop responding (hang).
