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
View 2 RepliesThis 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 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?

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 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.
Thanks in advance.

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?
Thanks in advance for any help
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 to send mail with HTML format and attaching multiple files dynamically via send mail task.

I have switched off the firewall settings on my system and as suggested im entering the minimal information and data to send the mail.

plz suggest.
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 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 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.
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 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.
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...
I have developed a B2B Application which is successfully running, now the problem is that my client says that he need a process which sends report of total orders on daily bases.
I am using SQL Server and think that SQL Mail is a good idea, I can find many articles about which needs Outlook for that which is much difficult on the web server. Remember I need to send email only not to receive.
Thanks, any reply will be highly appreciated.
The following SP adds a record to a table. I want to then send an email from within this SP to notify someone that their login is blocked. I can get their email address easily with a simple select but how does the xp_sendmail procedure actually fit in ?? I've tried adding it in just before the raiserror part but it doesn't work ? The raiserror part is used to trigger an alert to notify me but i need to also notify the client. Can anyone see what i am doing wrong please. Many thanks.

Does anyone know how to send emails from within a trigger without the use of a mail server. I know that xp_sendmail can be used if a mail server, such as MS Exchange Server is available and SQL Server is set up as an e-mail client. However is there a way to send mail to the outside world without the use of a mail server? (Perhaps there is a third party product or extended stored procedure that can give me this ability?)
Many thanks for any response.
Hello,
I would like to send email from Sqlserver 7.0, and I don't have a MS exchange server(I have a smtp server).
Do I need to have MS exchange server and if not, how can I get around this?
Can Outlook express be of any use?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have a table or two in a MS SQL DB. One table has a document name, when it was last uploaded and how often it should be looked at/reviewed.
e.g.
name.doc
01/09/2005
Weekly
1
fish.doc
01/08/2005
Daily
2
Each document is associated with a user (another table) so in the above example 1 and 2 refer to theprimary key of the 'admin' table to get a user.
I want to be able to automatically send an email to users notifying them to check their documents on whatever interval they have set.
I hope this make sense!

Hi. I found this article on 4GuysFromRolla (http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/tips/t051706-1.shtml) about sending an email when the database is updated. Well, I need to take this example a bit further. We are allowing people to enter their email address on our site to receive email updates on their case. I have all of that working in the database. But I don't know how to modify their example to loop through a listing of email addresses who want to receive an email when the case has been updated. Does anybody know how I can accomplish this? Thanks for all your help!
