Very often, we’re asked to extract some data from a database. If the request repeats regularly, it’s worth looking into automating it so you don’t have to perform this boring procedure over and over again. For this reason, you’ll probably want to send emails from SQL Server with the predefined content. And it’s not that hard to set up.

Of course, emailing in SQL Server doesn’t need to only be about exporting data. You may simply want to keep yourself (or a colleague of yours) updated when, for example, a backup is finished or a programmed job fails miserably. With built-in functionalities, this can easily be done too.

We cover several different approaches and let you choose which works best for your needs.

The longer you search, the more factors impacting deliverability you’ll find on the internet. Whatever the source, you’ll always stumble upon one factor, though – email sender reputation. Is it really that important? And how does one make it better? Let’s see.

Every email sending provider has its own maximum email size limit. However, there is no unique standard – limits are dictated mostly by performance and security reasons. There are many things you should keep in mind when preparing your email notifications or newsletters: from the maximum size of file attachments and HTML part to the email client your recipients will most likely use. Also, there are some not so obvious factors, which impact the actual email size and deliverability.

I would write about interesting news about Kubernetes and other CNCF Projects and I will share with you handy tutorials showing you how you perform different tasks in Kubernetes.

There it goes. Yet another email bounces because a user mistyped it or assumed (rightly so) that your site would accept hwebfdherw@fhberwfuy as a valid email address. If your list is flooded with such addresses, you are likely to experience poor deliverability or your users getting locked out of their accounts more often than you would wish. Luckily, it’s easy to set up a decent email validation in HTML5. Let’s see how.
