SQLMail and restricted service account

Hello,

In the FAQ about SQLMail, Microsoft said :
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;311231&sd=tech

"To configure a mail profile for a service account, you must log on to
the server by using that service account."

This mean that this service account must be able to open a session on
the server, and so we need to grant the right
"SeInteractiveLogonRight", and may be that the service account be a
member of the "domain users" group...

OK, I can support giving this right only the time needed to configure
the mail profile for my account, but if then I Revoke this right, and
the service account usergroup membership, will SQLMail still work ?

Is there a way to use a secure service account with SQLMail ?

Thanks,

Geof

You only need to grant the right to configure the mail
profile. You can remove it after that.
