To send an e-mail from SQL server you have to have Microsoft Outlook or
other e-mail service installed on your server.
Also it should have generic mail account on it.
Due to security reasons it is not allowed to have an e-mail service on a server in my company so see what I do instead to send an email to msql_dba team through some_e_mail.exe that is standard built in my company. You can run any exe from xp_cmdshell with parameters the same way as you do from command prompt. Hope it will help you somehow.

[PHP]Declare @msg varchar(1000)
BEGIN
RAISERROR ('The replication latency is too high please investigate',16 , 1)
select @msg = 'c:\PROGRA~1\au toproxy\ some_e_mail btell -mail msql_dba "Replicatio n Latency on server: ' +@@servername + ' Hrs '+rtrim(cast(@h as char))+' Min '+ rtrim(cast(@m as char))+'"'
exec master..xp_cmds hell @msg
END[/PHP]

Why don't you send the email via PHP or another scripting language?
