How to send mail programmatically from SQL2000

I tried to use the stored procedure xp_sendmail to send mail
programmatically from MSSQL2000.
But it seems to be inexistent.
Is there any other means to do that?Did you qualify with the master database?
EXEC master..xp_sendmail ...

exec [master].[dbo].[xp_sendmail]
@.recipients = 'bishoy@.bishoy.com',
@.message = 'Test',
@.subject = 'Test SQL Mail'
and received the following error:
Server: Msg 17985, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
xp_sendmail: Procedure expects parameter @.user, which was not supplied.
Although when I added @.user parameter, I received the following error:
Server: Msg 17981, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
xp_sendmail: Invalid parameter '@.user'|||There are plenty of issues with xp_sendmail. I have seen this in newsgroups
reported before. You'll
probably find a resolution by Google and searching the newsgroup archives.Al
so consider using
xp_smtp_sendmail instead (www.sqldev.net).
