    --  Some SMTP servers do not actually send the email until
    --  the connection is closed.  In these cases, it is necessary to
    --  call CloseSmtpConnection for the mail to be  sent.
    --  Most SMTP servers send the email immediately, and it is
    --  not required to close the connection.  We'll close it here
    --  for the example:
    EXEC sp_OAMethod @mailman, 'CloseSmtpConnection', @success OUT
    IF @success <> 1
      BEGIN
        PRINT 'Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly.'
