This is my syntax which looks valid to me, but the message will never send, need to get the message to send? (@recipients & @from_address are junk here, but valid email addresses in my procedure)
We have a ASP.Net 2.0 web application and need to send out emails. We have an EmailQueue table in our database where email gets stored before it is send out. We are looking at the pros and cons of using Database Mail in SQL Server 2005 to send out our emails. Should we use SQL or our web app to send email???Tips, tricks, articles, experiences, opinions are greatly appreciated. Newbie
I want to send an email two ice a day, from database. So I have planned to make a storedproce which will be called by a job (which will select some record from one table and put it in other table based on a flag) but I want to run it in a transaction so that if email is send successfully then only it should commit else it should rollback.
How can i find that "Mail queued" now i should commit.

I have an After Update Trigger specified on a database table to notify specific users via email when certain customer values are modified. (This is a HACK / Workaround for functionality that doesn't exsist in the product.)
I had be using xp_sendmail without a problem. I recently upgraded the database server to SQL2005 and wanted to try sp_send_dbmail. (I was interested in the asynch and the non-MAPI nature of Database Mail.)
This is the new code:
EXEC @retval = msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
@recipients = @rec,
@blind_copy_recipients = @bcc,
@subject = 'Important Customer Information Change',
@body = @body
This is the old code:
EXEC @retval = master.dbo.xp_sendmail
@recipients = @rec,
@blind_copy_recipients = @bcc,
@subject = 'Important Customer Information Change',
@message = @body
The problem now is that the application reports an update failure because the sp_send_dbmail return the message "Mail Queued."
I don't know if there's a way to suppress this message or not. Or some other way to indicate that "all is well" even though the stored procedure returned a message.
I have data driven subscriptions which are working fine for some subscription and one i have newly developed which is used to send the missing punch report to employeesNow , when the subscription runs it shows that all have gone email in report server but some of they are not getting any email i have tested it on my id to send each ones report to me but i also get sometimes 2 of 15 , 4 of 15 or else but not all i also checked mailroot folder under my server's inetpub there are nothing stucks. How to check why is it not sending email to all employees ?
I'm having problems sending my query results as a csv file. Ideally I would be able to send my results from a sql job every night as a csv but I'm having problems doing it. My code is shown below
I have setup SQL Mail on a SQL Server 2000 (service pk 3a) with outlook 2002.
SQL Mail give me the success message when I test the profile.
When I send a test message to an operator from SQL Agent it works fine.
When I send a message from the Outlook 2002 client (logged in as the Service-SQL domain account), I can send a message without a problem.
However, when I send an xp_sendmail message (xp_sendmail @recipients='email@address',@message='test',@subje ct='test') it tells me 'Mail Sent' in the result window, but the email never arrives or shows up in the 'sent items' folder in outlook 2002.
I have a website that I want to put a contact form on so I can allow users to send emails from it. I have SQL Server as my db but my hosting co. won't allow me to use the Database Mail procedure to send emails (msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail I think it's called). I will have to write my own procedure to do it instead. Can anyone point me in the direction of some good resources where I might get some info on how to do this?
I am trying to explore the email task in SSIS. I have a task which has only the email task. When I run its not throwing any error instead it says successfuly run but I am not recieving mail. I dont know how to trace this, could someone help me on this?
I have a SQL Agent job that runs at 4:15 in the morning. The job has 5 steps, each step only runs if the preceding step succeeds. The second step, which calls an SSIS package that does the main processing, appears to finish as it goes on to the next step; however, when looking in 'View History' there are 2 entries for this step - the first one shows it as still running (Circled Green Arrow) but with a start and end time. The second entry says the job succeeded.
I have been seeing conflicts, such as deadlocks, with later jobs. I suspect this job is causing the conflicts - maybe the package is still running in the background instead of having actually completed?
what conditions a job step my be showing in the job history as both running AND completed successfully?
From SQL Management Studion I go to Management > Database Mail and I am trying to send a test email but I never receive anything. I checked my SMTP Mail Server Logs and I saw no entry of my test email. I also I checked my SQL Database Mail Logs and everything seems fine, no errors are reported. The msdb.dbo.sysmail_allitems shows my email status as "sent". So what am I missing? What steps would you recommend for troubleshooting my problem? Thank you, Ric
i've got a brand new server and just installed SQL 2005.
when i try to send a test email, i get the following error message:
The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 5 (2006-11-23T11:49:34). Exception Message: Could not connect to mail server. (No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it). )
I have checked all items from troubleshoot and eveything is ok...any help ?
Kind of a newby sql question, but here goes:I have a sql 2005 database that I have a job that runs Sunday morning at 12:30 am. I set it up using SQL Svr Mgt Studio 2005. Under the Management directory I set up Database Mail to work with my local SMTP server. I can send a test email just fine.I then set myself up as an operator with my email address. (Under operators directory) I then went back to the properties of the job I set up, and under 'notification', chose e-mail operator (me) when Job Succeeds. The job runs, itt suceeds, but NO email!It flat out won't work. there are NO entries in teh( email) log for errors either. Anyone? TIA Dan OR is it better to script these jobs using xml? I don't have time to learn a new thing right now, just need it to work!
I am implementing a fax solution (Right Fax) and pulling email information from a table and passing into a variable. In order to send out a fax via email, the syntax is in the following example below:
Example:
To send a fax from Outlook to Jane Doe at 555-1212, enter:
[RFAX:Jane Doe@/FN=555-1212]
When the following syntax gets passed into the Send Mail Task, into the "To" line and the package is executed I'm receiving the following.
[Send Mail Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.".
[Send Mail Task] Warning: The address in the "To" line is malformed. It is either missing the "@" symbol or is not valid.
I realize it’s a malformed email address. Is it possible to create a group and instead of the fax syntax pass the group name?
I am trying to send out notifications when jobs complete (fail or succeed). I have database mail working fine on my DEV server, but I am having issues with it on my PROD server. I am currently having people look into if McAfee may be blocking it.
I am able to send out a test email from SSMS>Management>Database Mail, but when I set a Notification for a job, the job will complete and in the history, it will say "NOTE: Failed to notify 'User' via email."
I have created an Operator and set up Profiles and Accounts, just as I did on my DEV server.
We recently had a problem with DB Mail. SQL jobs that sends an email succeeded but the email in the job fail to sent. There was a problem with the email server. The error is included. We fixed the problem with the email server. How can I get an alert when a DB Mail email fails send?

Hi all,I've a problem with sql server 2000 EE.I've a DB with a table with lots of records. I run a SELECT fromquery analyzer, and I've results in 10 seconds. Perfect.When I run the query two times in the same table, seems likeit been queued. Result in 20 seconds.With another query, I've result in 40 seconds. If I run this query 2times, I've results in 80 seconds.How can it be? Does Sql Server queue the query?thanks, and sorry for bad english! :D
When multiple readers are waiting on a message from the same queue, I would expect that the reader that has been waiting the longest would be the first to pick up a message. However, I'm shocked to discover that the opposite seems to be true; in my tests I'm showing that the reader that has been waiting the least time picks up a message first! This seems totally counter-intuitive, and I'd like to know why it's working this way. This implementation will cause a lot more reader timeouts to occur than a properly queued method. For instance, assume that I have two readers, each using a one minute timeout. Reader #1 starts waiting, and reader #2 is busy for another 20 seconds before it starts waiting. 39 seconds later a message comes in and reader #2 will pick it up, leaving reader #1 to time out one second later! I would much rather have reader #1 pick up the message and reader #2 continue to wait for 20 more seconds.
I'm considering filing a bug on Connect about this, but I thought I'd post here first and see if I can get an answer...
Following is the script I'm using to test:
---Setup / Window #1---
-------------------------------------- CREATE DATABASE SimpleSSB GO
USE SimpleSSB GO
--Create a database master key CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'onteuhoeu' GO
--Create a message type CREATE MESSAGE TYPE Simple_Msg VALIDATION = EMPTY GO
--Create a contract based on the message type CREATE CONTRACT Simple_Contract (Simple_Msg SENT BY INITIATOR) GO
--create a queue CREATE QUEUE Simple_Queue GO
--Create a service CREATE SERVICE Simple_Service ON QUEUE Simple_Queue (Simple_Contract) GO --------------------------------------
---Go start the other windows now---
---Readers: Windows #2-n ---
-------------------------------------- USE SimpleSSB GO
WAITFOR ( RECEIVE * FROM Simple_Queue ), TIMEOUT 300000
--------------------------------------
---Start at least two readers, then do--- --------------------------------------
--send a message... DECLARE @h UNIQUEIDENTIFIER
BEGIN DIALOG CONVERSATION @h FROM SERVICE Simple_Service TO SERVICE 'Simple_Service' ON CONTRACT Simple_Contract WITH ENCRYPTION=OFF;
SEND ON CONVERSATION @h MESSAGE TYPE Simple_Msg GO
--------------------------------------
... the last reader you've started will pick up the message first. Note I'm testing on 9.0.3033, in case that matters.
What command can I issue from query analyzer to list tasks in the queued_tasks table. I would like to see tasks assigned to be run, completed, running, and error.
1)What is the difference between Queued Updating & Immediate Updating in Transactional Relplication.
2)What is the difference between Meged Replication & Peer to Peer replication.Because in both each node will Act as Publisher/Subscriber.So load balancing is possible both type replication na?
3) how to replicate views,stored procedure & functions.Beacuse when applying intial snapshot the copy is getting in subscriber.But afterwards whatever changes occurring in view,procedure not propagating from publisher to subscriber.what to do in this case
I have a problem replicating data from Subscriber to Publisher.
I configured Queued updatable subscriptions in transactional replication. Publisher is on SQL Server Standard edition and Subscriber is on SQL Server Express edition, both on Windows XP.
When I insert/update data in publisher, the data is replicated to subscriber. If I insert/update data on subscriber the data is not replicated. When I see the replication monitor for errors, it shows an error "Cannot load a DLL xprepl.dll or one of its resources".
Could any one give me a solution or please tell me if I missing something?
I have 18 odd subscribers at the moment, my publisher and disttribution is on the same machine with push subscriptions.
The questions I have
nr 1. While trying to initialize new subscribers I get loads of deadlocks even after I stop dist cleanup agent. This *I think* cause some other unexpected problems.
nr2. The queue reader would fail saing it cannot find the "insert" proc on the publisher, although it exists. I have changed anything on the publication so I'm not sure how this happens or why.
nr3. I replicate a varbinary(max) column and on the odd occasion get the "Length of LOB data" errors which I then set with sp_configure. The catch here is that the length never exceeds a "len()" of 4000, thus the reported LOB and my calculation doesn't tie up.
I have a report that gets sends out through a subscription and sometimes the report has multiple pages and all those pages appear within one email.Is it possible to set the subscription in such a way that an email is sent per page when the subscription executes.
Under IIS SMTP I can set bounced email redirect etc. how to do that with dbmail, the idea is I can get the list of bounced emails somewhere so I can create a report.
I've set up DB mail and sent a test e-mail and that comes through fine.
I set up an Operator with email Name: DWhelpton@k-and-s.com;MWeaver@k-and-s.com
I created a job and set up the notifications to e-mail the operator on failure.
When the job runs and fails, I do not get an e-mail and I get the following exception in the db mail log:

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.
