Has anyone been able to configure Database Mail and successfully send an email message? I set it up this afternoon, but all my messages are sitting in the sys_mailitems table of the msdb database.

Hi Friends,
I am finding an error in SQL Server Agent log which is related to database mail configuration. Can any one please guide me how to configure the database mail configuration to transfer the data from SQL CE to SQL server.
Thanks in Advance
I want to send mails from SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express for which I referred to the article at http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3626056. I could successfully do the steps from step 1 to step 6 listed at the above URL. In fact, when I sent a test mail (as cited in step 6), SQL Server displays the message Mail queued though the mail didn't get delivered. The mail server address I am using is smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk.
But when I expand the Management node in the Management Studio Express GUI, I don't find Database Mail as a child node. In fact, there are only 2 child nodes under the Management node - SQL Server Logs & Activity Monitor.
Why isn't Database Mail listed under the Management node? What am I missing here?
Also when I open Surface Area Configuration & then click Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections, the following error gets generated:
Computer localhost does not exist on the network, or the computer cannot be configured remotely. Verify that the remote computer has the required Windows Management Instrumentation components and then try again. (SQLSAC)
Additional Information:
The type initializer 'System.Management.ManagementPath' threw an exception. (System.Management)
Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.Management.WbemDefPath' to interface type 'System.Management.IWbemPath'. The operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '(38C15AF2-736C-477E-9E51-238AF8667DCC)' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)). (System.Management)
When I click Surface Area Configuration for Features, it generates the error cited above but from the first bulleted list.
How do I overcome this error? I confirmed that Windows Management Instrumentation is running by opening Services from Control Panel ---> Administrative Tools.
I am on WinXP Pro SP2. Please note that I also have SQL Server 7.0 installed in my machine which is a standalone m/c.
Thanks
I'm having trouble in configuring Yahoo's SMTP for Database Mail. Here is my current settings:
Email Address: xxx@yahoo.com
Server Name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port Number: 465
This server requires a secure connection (SSL) - check
Basic Authentication
Username: xxx@yahoo.com
Password: xxx
When I tried sending a test email, it didn't work. But when I changed my SMTP to use Gmail, it worked!
Hi,
I have 4 sqlservers(sp3) with same
hardware and software running on
win2000
all servers use same domain account
(myCompanysvcsql) used by sql
service and same mail profile and mail box(svcsql)
One server send more mail then another
and this server 1-2 times a week
fails to execute sp_sendmail.
Each time we have to restart sql
service to resolve the problem.
1.If 4 servers send mail at the same time ,could one of the server "timeout" to exchange connection and cause mail failure ?
2. Should each server have
sepate mail profile and mail box ?
Thank you
Alex
I can't seem to get mail generated by SQLMail to actually send.
Here is what I did.
1. Installed Outlook 2000 and configured it. I was able to send mail.
2. When into Enterprise Mgr and added the profile. It tests ok.
3. When into Query manager and did xp_sendmail 'rutherb2@nationwide.com','test'
4. Message says 'Mail sent', but nothing is sent..
However if I open Outlook and do a "Send and Receive" the mail gets sent.
My question is : Is this the way it is suppose to work? Do I have to have the Outlook client running on my server to get the mail to send?
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance....

Hi all....

Do I need to have any special condiguration for this. SMTP address is smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com. Also I have specified the Authentication using my user name and password. Please help
Thanks

EXEC @rv = dbo.xp_smtp_sendmail
@to = @to,
@from = @from,
@message = @message,
@subject = @subject,
@server = @server;

Hi every body
I want to send a simple mail using DATABASE MAIL feature in SQL SERVER 2005.
I've defined a public profile.
I've enabled Database Mail stored procedures through the Surface Area Configuration .
but I can't send a mail with sp_send_dbmail stored procedure in 'msdb' database .
when I execute sp_send_dbmail in the Managment Studio the message is
"Mail queued" but the mail is not sent.
Could it be related to Service Broker?Because the Surface Area Configuration indicates:'this inctance does not have a Service Broker endpoint'.If so, how should I make an endpoint?
here is the log file after executing sp_send_dbmail:
1) "DatabaseMail process is started"
2) "The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 2 (2007-03-08T00:49:29). Exception Message: Could not connect to mail server. (No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it)."
The DatabaseMail90.exe is triggred ,so the mail is transfered to the mail queue but DatabaseMail90.exe couldn't give the mail to SMTP server.The promlem is what should I do to make DatabaseMail90.exe able to connect to the server?
please help me.

Are there instructions somewhere for setting up this configuration? I have no problem using Access 2003, but I would like to use MSDE.

Please excuse me as although I have lots of database design & development experience I'm not database administrator and I'm new to SQL Server.
I have a SQL server 7 database on a remote web server which I can access over the Internet.
I have SQL server 7 installed on my local network server and I use Enterprise Manager to administer and configure the databases on the server.
Can I use Enterprise Manager to administer and configure the remote database?
If I can't then how do I make changes to the remote database? Do I need to FTP objects or use RAS?
Any help would be very much appreciated?

Hi All,
I am going made here. I set up database mail on a 2005 box. It was working fine, untill I needed to reboot it. Now it does not.
If I run a test with 2000 it works fine. However 2005 does not.
I go to the test mail bit and it says its sent, but it never turns up. So I ran:-
SELECT * FROM msdb.dbo.sysmail_event_log
And I get the fowwloing error:-

I have an application which allows communication through an internal blog. We have to monitor all communications for compliance but I'm unable to find a solution to my problem and hope someone can help.
The application allows IM/Email/Blog entries to authenticated members. We can take these communications and send them to our exchange server. However the FROM address is always the profile owner setup in SQL.
Question:
I want the FROM address to list the person starting the conversation and not setup individual profiles for each person using the application. We already have the ability to capture the communication through the application and send it to exchange but the FROM address doesn't reflect the person initiating the conversations.
Is this possible?
Thank you, MP

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm keen to use database Mail in SQL 2005. It seems to work well and save's me having to implement a queue, audit logging for sent/errored etc, as SQL2005 can take care of all of that for me.
heres the but..
Is there any way to specify the "From" email address in sp_send_dbmail I know you specify it as part of email account & profile but I want to override that.
I just wanted to be able to keep an audit of all the emails that where sent from an asp.net website and thought i could get that functionality "out of the box" with SQL 2005 and DB Mail, but with out being able to set the from: address its not going to work
Any one have a sugesstion?

Dear Profetionals ,

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server:
plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 995)

I used my yahoo email account and plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com port: 465 to configure the Databast Mail
But no test mail recieved , Then I tried SQL help and found this SELECT * FROM msdb.dbo.sysmail_event_log ;i used this SP and the result was :
1 information 2008-04-08 14:53:53.397 DatabaseMail process is started 1188 NULL NULL 2008-04-08 14:53:53.397 IMPSDevuser2 error 2008-04-08 14:54:11.190 The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure.

I am trying to configure Database Mail on a new installation of SQL Server 2005 and the 'DatabaseMailUserRole' does not exist.
How do I add this role to the server?
We have a user set up for our .net framework (webuser) with access to a database we created for our website. "webuser" needs to be able to send out emails using Databse Mail (SQL Server 2005) via a stored proc by excuting msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail. This stopred proc works fine when I am logged in as administrator but won't work for "webuser" and I can't seem to grant DatabaseMailUserRole to our that user either. What do I need to do?
I have bee trying to find a "how to" on setting this up but have been unsuccessful.
Dear Folks,I am trying to finish my configuration of Database Mail on my sp1 build 2153 sql server. I believe to have set it up properly but i still can't get a test message through. My error message reads:
The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 3 (2006-08-09T15:14:00). Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Transaction failed. The server response was: Mail from <account email address> rejected for policy reasons.). )
Everything that needs to be enabled, i.e. service broker, SQL Server Agent properties, deafult profile in msdb table, services restarted. Is this message a result of Sql server policy or the smtp server? Is there a process in the transaction Sql server initiates that could be causing the policy violation that i need to tell the email admin about?
Thanks for your reply.

I'm trying to use SQL server email, I am able to use it from the administrator account, but anyone else gets the "EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'sp_send_dbmail'. The MSDN says "To send Database mail, users must be a user in the msdb database and a member of the DatabaseMailUserRole database role in the msdb database. To add msdb users or groups to this role use SQL Server Management Studio or execute the following statement for the user or role that needs to send Database Mail." . The only problem is - I have no idea what the user name / role database is. I've plunked around the MSDB database and I can't find any documentation, help, anything. I know the login name of the user I want to enable to use database mail, but obviously that's not what the bit of SQL code that MS provided is looking for. Is there an "AddMember" function somewhere?? I don't see it. Should it really be this complicated to do simple email tasks - am I looking in the wrong place?
