Exchange 2000 Client for SQL Server Alerts   

I would like to install Exchange client on my Windows 2000 Advanced Server 
with SQL Server 2000.  I have several databases on this server.  I would like 
to install Exchange client on this server to send SQL Server alerts when jobs 
fail on this server.

I would like the Exchange client to route the SQL Server alerts to a group 
mail box.

Does Microsoft have installation instructions to complete?
Is there a license cost for the Exchange client software?

Thank You,

For speed I normally just stick Outlook on the server. Yes, there is a 
licensing issue.

Then for sending, create a distribution list in Exchange and configure the 
alerts in SQL to send to the distribution list.
