"If the SQL Server was started using the Local System
account, the DTS package has no permissions outside of
the computer that is running SQL Server."

My server is logged on by the local system. I have a DTS
package that needs to email files. The scheduled job is
being executed via the system account but not as my
DOMAIN/Account.

Is there some way to get the package to execute as my
domain account and not as the local system?

You pretty much have to do what you posted in the first line
- the service account needs to be set to a domain account.
Jobs that run when it's set as local system will not have
access to any network resources, mail servers, etc.
