On the Data Alerts screen, if the email addresses are entered in the following format (joe@google.com, jane@google.com, jim@msn.com) and error message displays indicating that SQL Mail is not properly set up.

This is incorrect and can cause IT and SQL Admins wasted time troubleshooting SQL Mail instead of looking at the source of the problem which is an improper format for the email addresses. The proper format for the email addresses should use a semi-colon to separate addresses and not commas (joe@google.com; jane@google.com; jim@msn.com).

Recommend adding proper validation that verifies the format of email addresses and display a proper message for this instead of directing the user to SQL Mail.
