SQL Mail Work Around
Feb 27, 2007
Hey yall,
I have a problem, I'm a DBA for about 250 databases. I currently have
ZERO means of notification on them. I put together an entire plan for
using SQL mail, got a pop3 account set up and all that jazz, but when
I put the request into my company to get outlook installed on my sql
servers they shut me down. The security guys said no email on servers
period even if it's outgoing only because someone might hack it. As
far as I know that's really the only way to shoot information about my
maintenance plans and other notifications I need.
So with out being allowed to use mail, can anyone suggest any means of
getting this information? I looked for a central control panel or
dashboard for sql server and couldn't find anything. It would be
really nice to have a program that could connect to all my sql servers
and just pop up an alert if something goes wrong. What I'm down to
now is just connecting to all these servers through enterprise manager
and clicking down to the jobs and checking last run status' and
checking stuff out that way, which is REALLY time consuming.
Any suggestions would be so greatly appreciated here!!!

I'm trying to get SQL Mail to work but have so far been unlucky. The following has been done:
Environment: Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 5 and SQL Server 7.0 Service Pack 1
1. The Exchange Mail client that comes with Windows NT has been installed.
2. The mail profile has been setup for the same account as SQL Server is using.
3. The mail profile has been setup for a POP3 mailbox on an exchange server.
4. The mail profile has been specified in SQL Mail configuration under Support Services in SQL Server Enterprise Manager (the test start of the profile is successful).
5. The mail gets sent to the mail client, put is stuck there. The mail does not get sent to the recipient.
I have read and understood Q153159, but I refuse to believe that I cannot get mail to be sent by SQL Server without having to be logged on or use the bigger Exchange client (or Outlook).
Any ideas?

Hello, I upgraded to Beta 3 and now mail isn`t working(I hate mail!) I found 2 error messages. One when trying to add an operators email id and the other when I try to "test" mail under server properties.
- Unable to start a mail session on the server with this mail profile.
- no mail profile defined.
The account that I am using is used for all our SQL Servers and was working on this server on 6.5 before the upgrade. I have checked the new SQLServerAgent service and it`s using the correct account.
Any help would be appreciated.
And to all you that are off for a long Labor Day weekend...I`m jealous!

I am having trouble getting database mail to work. I have tried many things, but can't make it work.
Initially, I setup IIS opn the same box as a virtual SMTP server. I set it up to relay to 127.0.0.1. In sql server, I setup database mail
to point to localhost, with no authentication. After the setup, when I test the email it works fine.
I created a job that will fail every time. I setup myself as the notify party on the job. When I run the job, it fails.
I get no email. The job log has the following error (notice failed to notify):
Message
The job failed. The Job was invoked by User xxxxAdministrator.
The last step to run was step 1 (test 1).
NOTE: Failed to notify 'Dan Jones' via email.
In the SQL Server log, I see:
[264] An attempt was made to send an email when no email session has been established
Also:
Message
[260] Unable to start mail session (reason: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlIMail.Server.Common.BaseException: Mail configuration information could not be read from the database. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: profile name is not valid

at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection)
at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject stateObj)
a)
This is my preferred configuration, but I couldn;t make it work, so I tried another...
I tried to setup mail through my mail service provider. I entered the IP in sql server. When I test it, I get the following error:

On the same box, I used telnet to step through thge SMPT mail send process. It worked fine, indicating no firwewall, router or other issues.
I am of the opinion that Database mail is defective. This post is similar to another I have done, but no usefull responses have been made.
I am hoping that sonmeone will provide some useful information here
This is running on Windows 2003 Standard, and on SQL Server workgroup edition.
I have a second backup server similary configured that behaves exactly the same.

Upgraded SQL Server 2005 x64 to Service Pack 1 expressly for the purpose of enabling Database Mail from SQL Job, which was a known bug that was listed as fixed in this Service Pack. It still does not work; in fact after installing SP1 on an x86 SQL Server Standard, Database Mail does not work from there now either, although it did prior to the upgrade! I am using Integrated Security.
Error message received: The job succeeded. The Job was invoked by User <name>. The last step to run was step 1 (Select). NOTE: Failed to notify 'Mike Schelstrate' via email.
Message in Error Log: [264] An attempt was made to send an email when no email session has been established.
Send test Email does work on both Servers.
Here is another Error message I found in the SQL Error Logs: [298] SQLServer Error: 2812, Could not find stored procedure 'msdb.dbo.xp_sqlagent_notify'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (DisableAgentXPs). Looks like this may be the root of the problem because it does not exist, I checked. How do I obtain this missing extended stored procedure?

I set up the "Send Email Task" succesfully with "SMTP Connection to myExchangeSERVER" using "Windows Authentication"
However, as we all know - you can't have html format for the Send Mail Task. BUT this piece of code straight from MSDN doesnt work for me - each time it pops up this "Mail Sent Succesfully" - but I receive NO freaking EMAILs!!! Am I missing something or is it another one of those Microsoft "gotchas" ?

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.

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,
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 = '' ;

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 every body
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?
please help me.

I had a very recent problem where an excess number of mail records were queued. I ran sysmail_delete_mailitems_sp and deleted them from the InternalMailQueue, but it looks like they still exist in the ExternalMailQueue as I keep getting messages in the log similar to "Mail Id 2277459 has been deleted from sysmail_mailitems table. This mail will not be sent". The MailItem_Id keeps incrementing so it looks like it's working its way through. The problem is we can't use it to sent current mail until it gets through about another 3 million records.
If there is some way to delete those records from the External Mail Queue or fast-forward the system to the current records that would be very helpful. Any ideas?

Dear MSSQL Collegues;
I set up SQL mail to send mail using MS Mail Server off of a separate server. The mail works and the server does mail out
with the difference that I must physically click on the "check mail" for MS Messenger to send the mail out to the mail server.
I thought about installing MS Exchange (The one I have running on NT workstation) but I can not find the installation kit
for Exchange anywhere. I tried Microsoft but I can not find it. Is there a trick to installing Exchange out of the cd rom for
NT 4.0? Or is there a setting in Messenger that I have to set for it to send mail by itself?
I need help Please.
Thank you for your help

I have been reading everything i can find regarding sql mail and sqlagent mail.We have a win2k server, sql 2000 and NO, NO, NO exchange server(all upto date on service packs).I have tried repeatadly for days to make this work, and have had noluck so far.1. I have a valid profile that tests fine in sql agent and via sqlmail test buttons.2. I have logged in to the box under that new domain account toinstall outlook and configure all the remaining options.3. I have set both the mssqlserver service and the sqlserveragentservice to run under the domain account that coincides with our pop3email server, and restarted both of them.4. I have installed outlook 2002, and I can send and receive emailsjust fine from our sql server.5. As soon as I try to test an email from within a job, the testfails.All I wanted to do was just be notified if a job fails. The amount oftime lost on what should have been a 30 minute project isunbelievable!!!If anyone has some suggestions, other than the obvious, please let meknow.Thanks,Dave

I have attempted to report out errors at the end of an ETL process by alerting supporting DBAs of errors using the SSIS "Send Mail Task". Task completes along with the sequenced packages, but does not mail anything out. No logic at this time for trigger, just success from the previous task triggering the task to send mail. I also get no errors in the output, and I get no output indicating the send mail task fired, but it does go "green". Do I have to enable database mail and have privileges?
Component Configuration:
SMTP Connection Manager - SMTP Server: arsocex02
Send Mail Editor -
From: messerj@arsocdev.bdev.lab.mil
To: sanderss@arsocdev.bdev.lab.mil
MessageSourceType: Direct Input
Expression: MessageSource = "Package>>> " + @[System:ackageName] +" was executed at>>> " + (DT_WSTR, 40) @[System:tartTime] + " by user>>> " + @[System::UserName] + " on Machine>>> " + @[System::MachineName] + " Errors reported to ERRORS_COURSE_CLASS_STATUS_T: " + (DT_WSTR, 50) @[User::ErrorCourseClassStatus]
