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!
Ilya
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.
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 want use SQL MAIL, but I have MDAEMON mail server on my Wndows NT Server!
Can I have any chances for it?
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?

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.

I just read that if you use an exchange server...the account that youstart SQL with needs a mail on the exchange box.Is this true?I know I didn't need an account when I've set it up before...but Imight have been using a POP3 server.I have Outlook 2003 installed on the server. Windows 2003 Enterprise.Thanks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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 therecould be conflicts/issues having Outlook on the same machine asExchange; and apparently, one needs Outlook to configure a mail profilefor SQL Server Agent.Is there, in fact, anything to worry about? If so, are there anywork-arounds beside moving Exchange to another server? (we've only gotone server, so this is not an option for us at this time).Thanks.- Dana

What step am I missing?
Has there been any indication from Microsoft as to when they anticipate using SQL 7.0 in SMS and Exchange? We are currently planning our MCSE+I certification training course schedules through the end of March. We are currently using SMS 1.2 and Exchange 5.5, which use SQL 6.5. We are planning to schedule the SQL 6.5 Admin and Design classes, but knowing when Microsoft will switch to SQL 7.0 for their BackOffice apps may influence our schedule. I have been told that we could take the SQL 7.0 Design class, and the instructor could tell us what has changed since SQL 6.5. I was told that the SQL 7.0 Admin class is very much different, however. Could anyone shed any light on this?

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.

Hello,
I'm having difficulties to figure out how to set up Sql Server / Windows NT / MAPI in order to send e-mails.

Does Exchange 2000 and SQL 2000 have to be the same machine to use exoledb.dll?
I want to link to an Exchange server and gain access to a Public Folder Contact Object for use as a lookup table within an Access front end. Someone directed me to use the Exchange OLE DB Provider, but it does not exist on my SQL machine.
Any help is appreciated
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.

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.
Hello
I have got a script which gives the mail to the dba mail box when database backup fails.
In the script I want to make a change so that I get the particular database name , on what ever database i implement.
Can you tell me some suggestions.
The script I am using is :
use master
go
alter PROCEDURE dbo.SendMail
@to VARCHAR(255),
@subject VARCHAR(255),
@message VARCHAR(8000)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE
@rv INT,
@from VARCHAR(64),
@server VARCHAR(255);
SELECT
@from = 'testsql2000@is.depaul.edu',
@server = 'smtp.depaul.edu';
select @message = @message + char(13) + Char(13) + @@servername + '-'+ db_name()+ '-' + 'Backup Status Failed' + Char(13)
EXEC @rv = dbo.xp_smtp_sendmail
@to = @to,
@from = @from,
@message = @message,
@subject = @subject,
@server = @server;
END
GO
--- After the above script is run the following should be given in the 2nd step when
--- the backup jobs are scheduled ------
exec master.dbo.sendmail
@to = 'dvaddi@depaul.edu',
@subject =' Test sqlserver 2000',
@message = '' ;
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.
I am looking for something on pulling information from Exchange 5.5 Sp4 to SQL7.0. Anyone know where I can start?

We have a business requirement for arching emails (5+ years) which are
generated in an e-commerce application. The quantity is substantial and
some of the emails will have MS Word attachments. As stands today, our
Exchange 5.5 environment is already taxed and archiving options are limited.
Someone suggested that there is a way to offload the emails into a SQL
database. If we could do this, this would provide much more latitude.
Generally speaking, is this difficult?
Thanks,
Bill
Import Exchange into SQL Server with DTS?
Our users enter data into the MS Exchange database using custom Outlook forms. We want to import that data in SQL Server using SQL Server Data Transformation Services (DTS). We do not see Exchange in the Data Source list in the DTS wizard. Is there an easy way to do this? Maybe an OLEDB provider for Exchange?
Thanks,
Bob
I have a fact table with amounts, all in a single currncy. I would like to be able to process the cube where I can select the currency from a dimension.
The format of the currency exchange dimension must include date, currency code, and exchange rate, where the native exchange rate (the currency that the amounts are in) is defined as 1.000.
I once had a procedure to setup exchange client as email for SQL alerts,
but I've misplaced it. (threw it out, actually) I've not had great luck finding it on the web at MS, or otherwise. Does anyone know where this can be found? Thanks in advance, John
