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?
View 13 RepliesI 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 keep getting a generic "Error Sending Mail" error. For testing purposes I am just trying to send using my own email account. What goes in the SMTP Server box in the connection manager? I have tried:
A - the exchange server address (SOMETHING.us.company.com)
B - The SMTP properties I see when I look at the properties of my email address: (my.name@abcd.efgh.company.com)
C - Just the end portion of the SMTP properties: (abcd.efgh.company.com)
D - My email address (my.name@company.com)
I don't know what to enter, or what is giving me such a generic error message.
I have a script task in which I check the size of a file.
If the size of a file is greater then 0 KB then I need to send this file as an attachment using send email task.
If size is equal to 0 KB then I don't want to send email at all.
In the script task, I have a flag(@sFileExists) which i set to true in case of size of file greater then 0 and false in other case.
I am using a precedance constraint (Expression : @sFileExists=true) and condition is logical AND.
After script task based on the condition (@sFileExists=true) I am using the send email task for sending the email.
But I am not receiving the email. Please sugest where I am wrong.
Please note that the send email task is working all-right separately.
SSIS : I have a "On Failure" precedence constraint that executes a Send Email Task for a Data Flow Task. Do you know how I might capture the error message from the Data Flow Task to include it in the Email (most likely as a variable)?
Thank you for any help!

hello all,
I just created a very simple package in SQL 2005 using the Send Mail task - i made a connection manager & specified the Exchange server - and then ran the package and i got the below message: I am not sure what i did wrong since the message is pretty general. Anyone help would be very appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
I have the following problem. I have a (Test-) package containing a task that deletes rows in a table. On Failure I implemented a Send Mail task that informs me about the output. Now the problem: If I run the package in BIDS on my client computer the mail is sent and I get it. The same is true if I run the package on BIDS on the Testserver where the package is stored. Also I get a mail when running the package as SQL Agent Job. But I never get a message when I simply execute the package from the Managament Studio. Then I get the error message: "The task Send Mail Task cannot run on this edition of Integration Services. It requires a higher level edition. " This is the same whether the package is stored in msdb or in the Filesystem. Does anyone know why this is the case or how I can get rid of this error?
thanks in advance

Hi All,
I am trying to use Send Mail Task to send mails within my package and I get the following error. "The server response was: 5.7.1 Unable to relay for test@mail.com". Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks
I setup a "Send Mail Task" task and an SMTP connection objection. I ran the package and got this error:
>>>
SSIS package "Package.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC002F304 at Send Mail Task, Send Mail Task: An error occurred with the following error
message: "Failure sending mail.".
Task failed: Send Mail Task
Warning: 0x80019002 at Package: The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (1) reached
the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number
specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.
SSIS package "Package.dtsx" finished: Failure.
>>>
Usually the SSIS error messages are too complicated for me to understand but this one doesn't say enough to be useful. Next, I purposely put in an invaid IP address (last octet = 3456 !) for the SMTP address, ran the package, and got the identical error message. I learned something.
What SSIS toolslogsstrategies can help me track down the problem?
TIA,

Hi all,
I have a problem using the send mail task with expressions. What I want to do is send a mail to all email addresses stored in a particular table.
What I already did:
I created a dataflow task that retrieves all email addresses from that particular table and writes them to a recordset destination;
After that, I created a 'for each loop container' that loops through all email addresses. Until here, the package runs without any problems, and all email addresses are returned.
Now I put a 'Send Mail' task in this 'for each loop container'. I enter a smtp connection, a from, a subject and a messagesource manually. But of course, I want the 'to' to be filled dynamically on runtime. Because of that, I added an expression on the expression tab where I map the ToLine with the variable filled during the loop. And now the problem: confirming everything and exiting the 'Send Mail' task result in a red cross appearing on the task, telling me 'No recipient is specified'. Of course, no recipient has been specified, as I want it to be filled on runtime. What I already tried, was to enter a recipient in the 'to'. Then the red cross disappears, but when running the package I get the same error.
What am I doing wrong???
Kind regards,
Jievie

Hi,
can any one help me , i am facing an issue on SSIS mail task, i want to attach a file of size 2 MB. it's getting error :
[Send Mail Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "The operation has timed out.".
thanks,

OK. I give up and need help. Hopefully it's something minor ...
I have a dataflow which returns email addresses to a recordset.
I pass this recordset into a ForEachLoop configuring the enumerator as (Foreach ADO Enumerator). I also map the email address as a variable with index 0.
I then have a Execute SQL task which receives this email address as a varchar variable (parameter 0) which I then use in my SQL command to limit the rows returned. I have commented out the where clause and returned all rows regardless of email address to try to troubleshoot this problem. In either event, I then use a resultset to store the query result of type object and result name 0.
I then pass this resultset into a script variable to start parsing the sql rows returned as type object. ( I assume this is the correct way to do this from other prior posts ...).
The script appears to throw an exception at the following line. I assume it's because I'm either not passing in the values properly or the query doesn't return anything. However, I am certain the query works as it executes just fine at the command prompt.
Try
ds = CType(Dts.Variables("VP_EMAIL_RESULTS_RS").Value, DataSet)
My intent is to email the query results to each email address with the following type of data by passing the parsed data from the script to a send mail task. Email works fine and sends out messages but the content is empty. I pass the parsed data as string values to the messagesource and define the messagesourcetype as a variable in the mail task.
part number leadtime
x 5
y 9
....
Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
thanks
John
Hi All,
I need to send out email when error occurs in the package. Is it a good practice to put the send email task in the event handler? Then MaximumErrorCount is set to 1. But for some reason, some time I saw more than one email are sent out. Please advise. Thanks
Hi,
We currently have a SSIS package which is using a batch script . This batch script actually executes on TERADATA server and loads data in to terdata db. We did not get access to UNIX env so we are planning to create SSIS packages that can call the batch scripts and perform tasks on terdata.
Can somebody throw some light how to caputure the information if there is error in batch script or data loading and send a mail.
Ealrier we created packages that were doing data loading on SQL server and if something fails then we used error handling machanism in stored procedures which logs failure event in to SQL table and then using send mail task it send a email.
I nwant to know how to use error handling when something fails on terdata and send mail to us.
I'm trying to put together an SSIS package that will look in one directory for 2 distinctly named .csv files. The files will then be loaded into 2 tables.
The first task I execute is a SQL Task that checks to see if the tables I'm loading the data into are empty. If the tables have data, the package stops executing. If they are empty, the package continues to execute.
What is the best way to send an email out from SSIS if the package stops on the first step?
Hello everyone,
I'm having an issue with dynamically setting the Send Mail task's to field to decent sized recipient list(approx 15 email addys). The strange thing is that this same package works fine if I'm using a list of say 4 email addys. I have double checked everything I can think of....list is seperated by semicolons, each address looks good....and have ran script tasks to check my variables along the path of the package but so far have not found the reason. The error I get is below:
"The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address"
Also of note, these addresses are being populated from a table, that is then setting the To string of the send mail task via a seperate variable...that variable being populated from a foreach loop. Again, all of this works fine with a smaller recipient list. Any ideas?
The only thing I can think of right now is to run the send mail task within the foreach loop...but then I'll be sending a seperate email for each address and would like to avoid that if possible.
Thanks,
Adrian

Hi Everyone,
Hopefully someone out there will have an idea as this is driving me nuts.
I've setup a task to email on success/failure and keep receiving the following message when executed:
Progress: The SendMail task is initiated. - 0 percent complete
[Send Mail Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Failure sending mail.".
Progress: The SendMail task is completed. - 100 percent complete
Task Send Mail Task failed
When I configure Outlook Express on the same machine with the same settings it works.
On the SMTP Connection Manager I have left the default name, tested with both an IP address and Server Name, and no authentication or SSL.
On the Send Mail Task, it uses the above connection. The To: , From: , Subject fields are populated. Message SourceType is DirectInput, MessageSource is Test, Priority is Normal and no attachments or expressions etc.
Nothing useful is logged in the Event Viewer even with full logging turned on.
Any suggestions appreciated,
Thanks.
I know you can specify additional recipients in the To column by sepperating them with a semicolon. But whats the easiest way to send to several users, when the email address must be retrieved from a table with a query like this:
select email from problem_subscribers
where project = 'project1'
and statusmail = 'OnError'
So when the eventhandler gets an OnError i want the mail task to be sent to each problemsubscriber.
Hi everyone,
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
Code Block
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
@profile_name = 'admin'
,@recipients = m@m.com
,@subject = 'Notification Created Today'
,@attach_query_result_as_file = 1
,@body_format = 'text'
,@query ='
select
a1.c#, cli, fe, type, dateReq, p, (select convert(varchar(50),convert(money,amount),1)), (select convert(varchar(50),convert(money,vat),1)),(select convert(varchar(50),convert(money,total),1)), cReq
from Disb_1 a1 inner join Details on a1.c#=Details.c#
where datediff(day,getdate(),dateReq)=0 and dateReq <= getdate()'
I've tried many different things and been through the parameters of sp_send_dbmail but I just cant find anything.
Also, how can I use column names for those money conversions? At the moment it just says 'no column name'
Thanks,
Steve
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.
Anyone else have this issue.
Thanks - Rick
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?
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)
Code:
exec msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
@profile_name = 'DatabaseMail',
@recipients = 'loggedinuser@domain.com',
@body_format = 'HTML',
@from_address = 'SQLEmailAccount@domain.com',
@body = 'Test 12345',
@subject = 'Test Email From SQL Server';

I'm trying to send a email to myself when my DTS package has successfully been executed or failed. However, my "Send Mail Task" will not execute successfully, not even in BIDS. I don't see any error messages, however, I do remember seeing something about "Server Authenication Required". I'm at work on the company's network and using MS Outlook 2003. I have no problems sending and recieving mail through Outlook. I went into Outlook to find my companys' SMTP server name and entered that info in the SMTP Connection Manager Editor, with the "Use Windows Authenication" button checked. But it still do not run successfully. I get the same error at home on my own computer. Can't figure it out!
When using "Send Mail Task" is there any other configuration required in BIDS to activate sending mail out or is there something I'm missing in configuring SMTP Connection Manager? Please advise. Thank you in advance.
