but while in the same mail set up in previous instance of sql server 2005 the message was sending very well. After installing new instance of sql server 2005 the problem is arising.
Anybody can tell me that what I can do so that i can send mail using the SMTP databasemail account."
Hello,Does anyone know how I can set SQL Server up so that after it hascompleted a backup sucessfully it will send the completion report toan e-mail address via SMTP.Unfortunatly we cannot install MS OUTLOOK Express or similar.Is this possible?Many thanks in advance,Allan Martin
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 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?
Hi all,At this moment I'm trying to get database mail working. According tosome people it should be easy. Well...that is not the case for me.I'm having the following error:The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail serverfailure. (Sending Mail using Account 2 (2006-11-24T08:48:15). ExceptionMessage: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Command not implemented.The server response was: Command not Supported).)SQL Server 2005 is installed on a separate server and the SMTP Serveris Lotus Notes. connecting with port 25.Start and stopping the SQL Server and SQL Server agent i tried already.i tried sysmail_stop_sp and sysmail_start_sp.Sometimes when starting or stopping the Mail with the followingcommands :exec sysmail_stop_spGOexec sysmail_start_spGOI will get the following error:Msg 233, Level 20, State 0, Line 0A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to theserver. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is onthe other end of the pipe.)So any help would be appreciated.Hennie
Hello, The Database Mail feature is already enabled on the server, also I have a mail account on the other server. The problem I faced is that I need to send mail from my SQL Server using a created email account on the other server. How should I configure my email to do that ? Should I use a sysmail_add_account procedure to enable account, also set profile and profile account ? Does this way creates server mail account that is binded with other email account? The mail should be sent from my SQL Server. Thank You.
Dear all, I have switched off the firewall settings on my system and as suggested im entering the minimal information and data to send the mail. but still the Mail Task is failing.. plz suggest.
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.
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.
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 problems with sending a mail from SQL Server: SQL Mail starts. Command: xp_sendmail 'MRudyk','Halo!' returns:Unknown recipient: Parameter '@recipients', recipient 'Mrudyk' 'Mrudyk' is valid recipient...
If the record is inserted to the above table that would look at a pickuptime field in a table and if pickuptime is 2008-02-14 13:07:06.317 after 6 hour from the pickuptime then I would send a email to briteindia_kumar@hotmail.com
Using SQL to send e-mail , returns the next error when sending to hotmail user.

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?
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

Hello, I've been banging my head trying to figure this one out so I appreciate any help you guys can provide.
I've setup and configured SQL 2005's Database mail and have sent a few plain and simple text emails and I receive it fine at the destination.
I now want to send mime messages but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I took the following source from an email that linked-in sent me which was a mime message: "
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary='----=_Part_434343432'
------=_Part_434343432
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Plain Text Goes Here
------=_Part_434343432
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
<html>
<body>
<b>HTML Goes here</b>
</body>
</html>
------=_Part_434343432--
" and put the above text in the @body parameter of the stored proc msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail and submitted it.
When I received the email, it didn't appear as html. Instead, I just got the mime message above as plain text in my email as if someone just typed it and sent it to me. What do I need to do for SQL Database Mail to send the above as a MIME message?
When using a subscription to send mail, I find that the report can be sent in any format apart from Excel, which gives me the error: "Failure sending mail: Unspecified error". As you can imagine, this doesn't give me much to go on!
I want to use Excel format as it retains the drilldown functionality (hiding / unhiding rows). The ExecutionLog has the status as rsSuccess, but Subscription tab for the report shows the error.
I have SQL Server Reporting services on Windows 2000.
The reports seem to be working well, but I cannot get a subscription to work. The error I get is the one in the subject line.
I look into my log files and see these lines.
ReportingServicesService!emailextension!ab0!12/07/2007-15:02:07:: Error sending email. Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.RSException: An error has occurred during report processing. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ProcessingAbortedException: An error has occurred during report processing. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80090005): Bad Data.
I am Getting this error in SSRS Report Subscription. I went to Subscription table Checked the Laststatus. The LastStatus is :Failure sending mail: The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.Mail will not be resent.
Does anyone have any step by step instructions for how to send smtp mail from SQL? I guess I can use xp_cmdshell to run a vb script or something but I have no clue besides that as to what's involved.
Has anyone ever set up sql mail through smtp. I am trying to automate my server and not having to much success as i cannot use exchange for company reasons. I understand that i am able to set this up through outlook and not outlook express. this is what i have tried to do: 1. Remove any MAPI application (Full Outlook or Microsoft Messaging from control panel). It is important that there are no mapi profiles on the server. 2. Logon to the SQL server using the SQLService account 3. Check that Outlook Express is the default Mail client (done from IE/tools/Internet Options/Programs) 4. Check that there is a mail account configured, pointing to an SMTP server, say aklexch1 (just put bogus stuff in for the POP server) 5. test that you can send a message (ignoring the receive errors) from Outlook Express to your @advantagegroup.co.nz address
Only after step 5 is working should you start testing from SQL
6. In SQL Mail config you will not see any profiles in the list but just type 'Default' 7. Create an SQL Operator with an @advantagegroup.co.nz address and click the test button
I am using a unix terminal via sendmail (which i assume is compliant), I have set up mail client in outlook express called SQLService. My main issue is that no mapi profile can be located on the server and sql server agent is recieving login failed attempts when I a attempt to start it! any ideas

Can anyone adivise me with setting up mail in SQL 7.

I keep recieving Mapi and logon errors when starting mail and service manager. Can anyone help! thanks
Has anyone got deatils on how to go about setting up sql through an smtp client. I am unable to configure the automation service through outlook express as I understand that it is not supported. I am using a unix terminal via sendmail (which i assume is compliant), I have set up mail client in outlook express called SQLService (service account) and an exchange account. My main issue is that no mapi profile can be located in SQL mail and sql server agent is recieving login failed attempts when I attempt to start it! Can anyone adivise me with setting up mail in SQL 7
I keep recieving Mapi and logon errors when starting mail and service manager. I have also tried using a internet mail account which has not worked either. I have been told that sql mail should have a default mail client that I have specified as the SQL service account. Any feedback or advise in this area would be extremley helpful as I am stumped at the moment.
I'm trying to make my SEND MAIL TASK in SSIS dynamic, by retrieving SMTP Server name (amongst other email message information) from a table.
I've got an SP that is getting the information into package variable's, and when I don't try and have a dynamic server name (i.e. I use a specified SMTP server in my SMPT Server connection), then the email get sent off.
I'm trying to use an expression to build alter the send mail to use the server name I have in a user variable.
I've tried using the expression for the property: SmtpConnection set to: RTRIM( @[User::MailServer])
I also tried without the RTRIM - I only added it because the error messages seem to include a full 'string' length, and there doesn't seem to be a 'varchar' data type for SSIS variables.
so: a> Is SMTPConnection the property I need to be setting? None of the others seem correct b> If SMTPConnection IS the property I need, does the value give the SMTP Server Name, or just the Name of the connection from the Connection Manager's?
Thanks
Part-Answer to: b> The SMPTConnection property sets the name of the CONNECTION to be used. That Connection needs to set the name of the server. So n ow, the question becomes, how do I configure that from SQL (I know how to use package configurations from XML files).
I am new to the SSIS package and was trying to figure out how to use SMTP authetication with a 'Send Mail Task' Our company's server requries SMTP authentication for mail. The Send Mail task only allows for Windows authentication.
What can I do to get the SMTP authentication to work for the Send Mail Task? Regards, James Robb
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:
