Sp_send_dbmail Mail Queued. Message

I have an After Update Trigger specified on a database table to notify specific users via email when certain customer values are modified. (This is a HACK / Workaround for functionality that doesn't exsist in the product.)

I had be using xp_sendmail without a problem. I recently upgraded the database server to SQL2005 and wanted to try sp_send_dbmail. (I was interested in the asynch and the non-MAPI nature of Database Mail.)

This is the new code:


EXEC @retval = msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail


@recipients = @rec,

@blind_copy_recipients = @bcc,

@subject = 'Important Customer Information Change',

@body = @body

This is the old code:


EXEC @retval = master.dbo.xp_sendmail


@recipients = @rec,

@blind_copy_recipients = @bcc,

@subject = 'Important Customer Information Change',

@message = @body

The problem now is that the application reports an update failure because the sp_send_dbmail return the message "Mail Queued."

I don't know if there's a way to suppress this message or not. Or some other way to indicate that "all is well" even though the stored procedure returned a message.

Thanks in advance.
