mssqlserver account

What account should run mssqlserver and sqlserveragent.
Should it be a local account or a domain account?
Thanks,
MTYou often need a domain account. If SQL Server agent executes a job which fetches a file from
another machine, for instance., Or you want to use SQL Mail, where you need a domain account for the
mail account.
