Configuring Mail For SQL Server Agent - Problem With Exchange And Outlook On Same Machine?
Jul 23, 2005
I would like to configure e-mail alerts on my SQL Server 2000 box.
However, we also run Exchange on the same machine. I've been told there
could be conflicts/issues having Outlook on the same machine as
Exchange; and apparently, one needs Outlook to configure a mail profile
for SQL Server Agent.
Is there, in fact, anything to worry about? If so, are there any
work-arounds beside moving Exchange to another server? (we've only got
one server, so this is not an option for us at this time).
Thanks.

I setup a domain user account and e-mail account for the sql agent. When I want the agent to mail me a message
when something happens it puts it in the out box but does not send until I pull up the outlook express and ping the server to send recieve.
If I don't have outlook express running in the taskbar, it won't send the message at all. The e-mail is configured as an internet mail component.
Any suggestions??

I've just installed and configured outlook 2003 with sql agent mail and I've come across a strange conundrum: messages from agent mail are not actually sent unless the outlook client is open, but the default mail folder is locked by agent when agent is started, thus preventing outlook 2003 from opening. If I try things the other way - opening the client and then configuring/restarting agent mail - then agent mail can't access the default mail folder because the client has it locked.
There doesn't seem to be any way to win here.
Anyone come across this issue and found a workaround?

I am using nt4.0 sp5 with sql7.0 sp3 and exchange client.
Does anyone know how to keep xp_sendamil form putting a copy of the mail message in the sent mail folder or an automated process for deleting all mail in the sent folder? As it stands now I must manually delete all messages from the sent mail folder on a daily basis.
Thanks,
Ed.

Just recently my SQL server agent has been causing problems with my Outlook. When the Agent is started, it causes all processes on Outlook to hang. As soon as I stop the Agent, then Outlook works just fine again. Does anyone know a possible cause for this. Up until a couple days ago things were working just fine, and then this problem seems to have popped out of nowhere.

Hi all,
I'd like to link a SQL Server database / table to Microsoft Exchange Server E-Mail-Address data, for an Employee Directory project.
I've read a little about "Web Store", a little about ExOLEDB, but I've come across nothing along practical lines. I.e., I still don't know where to begin!
For example the "Web Store" should be created on the SQL server, but how do you create it? Any insights will be greatly appreciated.

Hey All,
Is there any way to run SQL Mail with exchange CLOSED? Keeping Exchange always minimized seems rather unneedy, inexperienced developers might just have the tendency to close it. Is there any way to avoid that?
Also, can SQL Mail be configured with something else besides Exchange?
Thanks a bunch!

I'm trying to make SQLMail work. I have installed Microsoft Outlook 98 with MSSQL 7.0 on a NT Server 4.0 with Service Pack 6. I have set a profile for a user with admin rights to start a service. I can successfully start up with SQL with this account. When I try to start up SQL Mail it comes back with this error:
DESCRIPTION: Error: 0, Severity: 19, State: 0
SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 34 generated fatal exception c0000005
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process.
With another dialog box:
Error 22030: A MAPI Error (error number: 87) occured:
Can any one Help??
Do I need reapply the service pack??

We do not have any licenses for MS Outlook and our main e-mail client is GroupWise. Someone has told me that we should be able to use the Outlook Express client to activate SQL Mail. Is this true; if so how is it done. If not does it make since to put the GroupWise client on the SQL Server ?
Thanks in advance,

I'm trying to set up Sql Mail using Outlook 2000 and the only way I can get a message sent is to have the Outlook client open at the time I start Sql Mail. Sql Mail will start regardless of the profile chosen even if it is blank, but if the Outlook client was not running at the time I started Sql Mail then while executing xp_sendmail I get "Server: Msg 17914, Level 18, State 1, Line 0 Unknown recipient: Parameter '@recipients', recipient 'jcorriveau@homeruns.com'"
Regardless of the Outlook client status or profile setup when performing a MAPI profile test, <SQL MAIL><Properties><Test>, I receive "SQL-DMO(ODBC SQLState: 42000) Error 22030: A MAPI error(error number 273) occurred.:Unable to get the default MAPI Message Store due to MAPI error 273:The information store could not be opened."
I've setup Sql Mail and Outlook 97/98 clients in the past and have not had to have the client open when starting Sql Mail. I've read most of the technet and knowledge base articles and the only ref I can find to this problem is a note in Q248431 "note that outlook 2000 or another configured MAPI client must be started before xp_startmail is executed." Was this the case in Outlook 97/98?
The Exchange server is in another domain. I think it's version 5.5. I'm using my domain account and profile to setup Sql Mail. I can send and receive mail fine using Outlook 2000. There is a Password dialog box that appears when starting the Outlook client prompting for User Name, Domain Name, and Password. I have not been able to create a profile that gets around this dialog box. Is this an Exchange server setting? If so, is it a server wide setting or can it be disabled per mail account?
Any help with this will be appreciated. Thanks, Jim

I have set up database mail in SQL 2005. We have an MS Exchange group that is alerted when SQL jobs fail.
Two things ;
i) I can't seem to be able to use Exchange mail Groups. If I specify the group name SQL returns ;
The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 1 (2007-10-30T15:40:39). Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.).
If Exchange cannot be used in the way that Outlook did then how can we alert a group of users about SQL job failures ?
Therefore I tried specifiying an indiviual email address rather than a group ;
- sending a test message (right click database mail) using the full single email address works fine.
- sp_send_dbmail using the full single email address is also fine.
ii) When a job fails the notifications do not seem to work. The Job history log just reports ;
NOTE: Failed to notify 'Operator Name ' via email.
The SQL Error log reports ;
Message
[264] An attempt was made to send an email when no email session has been established
However sysmail_help_status_sp indicates that database mail has started.
The job fails to notify the operator and in this case it is a single email address.
Anybody got any suggestions, (thanks in advance) ?

I saw from SWYNK that you were able to set up SQL Mail using Lotus
Notes. I tried following the post by Edward Alexander but got into some trouble:
We were using MAPI to get to Notes Mail.
1. We know that MAPI works because we were able to send mail by
a. using the exchange client (Windows Messaging client)
b. using VB script to send a message with MAPI.Session
The problem is that SQL server cannot see the Exchange Profile that was defined on the SQL box.

Database Mail only sends SMTP email messages and logs problemsconnecting to the mail server. However, I also need to log bouncedemails (bad address, etc).Are there any clean ways to do this with Database Mail and Exchange?Or will I have to mix Database Mail with SQL Mail to read bounces outof the inbox? Or, have a .NET windows service that talks to theExchange API?

wasnt sure which forum to put this in - so i'll attempt here!
i have been trying to setup SQLMail in SQL2000 but have been having a few problems
i have created an Outlook MAPI profile for SQL to use. i have tested the profile and it is sending emails - the profile was created using the correct user which has local admin privileges and also a domain account
i then assigned this profile to SQLMail within Enterprise manager and clicked Test. this completed successfully stating it was able to start & stop a MAPI session.
so i assumed that was all thats needed??
through Query Analyzer i run a simple test
EXEC xp_sendmail 'Craig.Gamble@<mydomain>.com' 'The DB is full'
i get a success message saying SQL mail sent. but it doesnt appear to send anything? i never recieve anything. The sent items does not contain anything and even when checking the actual Exchange server there is no sign of any mail being sent
i also checked the SQL account permissions to make sure it could access the Exchange Server using the
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'NET USE \EnterpriseIPC$' and again this returned success
so now im stumped!
is there anything else i can check to see where or what its supposedly sending??
any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Craig

Hi,I've been able to successfully configure SQL Server Agent to sendnotification emails to an appropriate Operator in the event of an alertbeing fired. This all works fine on one condition - that Outlook clientis running on the server.If Outlook is not running the alerts still be fired (i.e. the OccuranceRate still increases as and when expected), but the emails beinggenerated will not be sent until the next time Outlook is opened.Clearly it's unwise to rely on Outlook being open on the server at alltimes, so I was wondering if anyone knows of a workaround to ensurethese emails are processed immediately?I'm using SQL Server 2000 SP4 and Outlook 2003.thanks,Bob.

Hi,
Wondering if anyone there can tell me what I'm doing wrong (and please be gentle as I'm not at all techy).
I have a DTS scheduled on the Server Agent to run, and at the end it is to send a mail to notify me and several others that it has completed. Trouble is, it runs but doesn't send the mail.
However if I execute the DTS manually it does send the mail.
I have a idea it might be to do with the Profile in SQL Mail in Server Settings on the Properties of the server, but have no idea how to correct this.
Can anybody help?

Hi,
I have created a package which extracts data from src table to dest table. src and dest are available in test database.Another database test1 is available which has only src table.
Now I have created package level variables for source and connection string.if both are test database then data from test.src - > test.dest otherwise if source is test1 then test1.src = test.dest.
All these things worked fine from Business Intelligent studio.But when I want to configure the same from sql Job Agent, it fails . It reports as Invalid Command Iine parameters.
In Job Step I have given Package source as FileSystem, Package as physical path.In Set Values Property Path = /MyTest.source; Value = Data Source=VENUS;Initial Catalog=Test1;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;
Please shed some light on this issue.
Thanks

Hello, hoping someone might be able to help.
I've set up Database Mail on an instance of 2005 and the test mail works just fine. However, when testing a job (notify on fail, success, whatever) the mail fails to send. Job History last information reads NOTE: Failed to notify 'My Name' via email.
Checked out the Database Mail logs - nothing interesting.
Restarted the Agent service and then checked out the current Agent Log. Found message:
[260] Unable to start mail session (reason: No mail profile defined).
The 'DatabaseMailProfile' key is most certainly defined in the Registry
(at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', N'SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1SQLServerAgent')
I'm at a loss...why is it telling me no mail profile defined?
I'd be most grateful for any help if anybody else has run across this problem.
Cheers,
Megan

Hi All,
Great forum y'all have going here.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
Enterprise Manager:
I have setup and 'sucessfully tested a MAPI session' with a mail profile via support services > sql mail. That works fine, however in sql server agent properties the mail session section on the first general tab appears to be greyed out.
scenario is:
Windows Server 2003 SBS edition
SQL Server 2000 SP3
Exchange Server 2003 is also running on the server, with Outlook 2003 client (so i suspect side chaining issue).
Any help appreciated! did not have any luck googling or using microsoft KB.

It's a Windows 2000 Server box with SQL 2000 on it. MSSQLSERVER &SQLSERVERAGENT services are logged in as valid domain user. I set up amail profile for that user, and can send email via Outlook 2003.However, when I go to the SQL Agent Properties in Enterprise Manager,Mail Profile is disabled.I've restarted the services & even tried rebooting the server. Thisworks on my other servers, but they're Windows 2003. Not sure ifthat's the problem though.Anybody have any clues?
