alternative to Outlook/ Exchange?

Is there anything other than Outlook/ Exchange that can be used in order to
set up SQL Mail/ Alerts? My Network Admin is hoping for some type of SMTP
Relay type of deal.
Check the following extended stored procedure for SMTP mail:

using it doesn't leave you with an unsupported installation
of SQL Server.
It's stable to use...many people use it. I've been using it
for a few years. I think it's a improvement over using SQL
Mail, Agent Mail, MAPI, etc.
