I am using Windows NT 4.0, SQL Server 6.5 and Exchange 5.0. I would like to setup SQL mail.
I tried to create mail login, NT expects for MS mail server name and login.
When i enter my exchange server/login name does not recoganise.
How do you setup SQL Mail? I tried following the procedures on theonline manual but I do not understand what "On the instance of SQLServer, start the mail client using the newly created mail profile."means. What is the mail client? I have already setup the mail profilebut when I go to SQL Mail on Services and try setting it up, the profileI created is not showing on the pull down list.I appreciate any assistance.Thanks.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
We are running SQL2000 on Windows2000 with Outlook2000.
The SQL Server machine is logged into as Administrator.
I've set up a mailbox called MyMailBox on the above server. I've also set up a profile called MyMailProfile on the server. They are the only Mailbox and profile on this machine and are setup correctly (by our network admin guy).
In services i've set the SQLServerAgent to login as Administrator.
Problems:-
(1) I then try to set the SQLMail profile name in SQL Server but MyMailProfile doesn't appear in the list (it's blank) ? I can type it in but when clicking the test button i get the following message - 'error 18025....failed with mapi error' any ideas ??
(2) If i try to set up an operator when i choose myself from the list and click test it says 'this will send a message to Paul etc'...which is fine but when i then click OK i get the message 'error 22022 SQLServerAgent error: The SQLSserverAgent mail session is not running, check the mail profile and/or the SQLServerAgent service startup account in the SQLServerAgent properties dialog.' so OK i can do that...
(3) ...in the mail session of the SQLServerAgent properties i have entered MyMailProfile and the service startup account is Administrator. The problem in number (2) is the same ??
I have also checked the services - the MSSQLServer service is logged on using local system account whereas SQLServerAgent is logged on using Administrator - is that a problem ?
From here i'm stuck.
Why doesn't it work ? Is it something to do with NT permissioning ?
Does anyone know a good on-line source to help with setting up SQL Server Mail ?
I would need to use sql-mail for alerts etc on an SQL server installed on an Windows XP machine. IIS is installed. Is that possible and in that case how? Can I use POP-account for it?
Any help on the following error which I am getting when I am trying to set up SQL Mail for Internet Mail with Outlook Express?
Error 22030: A Mapi error(error no 271)occured.Unable to get the default MAPI Message store due to mapi error 271:One or more of the receipients was not found in the address book.
Iam not sure why Iam not able to successfully set up sql mail. here are the steps I follow:
1. I Created a user account and password to be used for sql server and sql agent as a service account.( Domain Namesqlservice ) 2. Logged off window 2000 then log in with the same account I created in step one. 3. double clicked mail icon in control panel to set up a mail account by specifying the following: pop :pop.erols.com smtp: smtp.erols.com I choose POP instead of IMAP to set up the mail account 4.tested the account by opening Outlook and was able to send and recieve mail via Outlook.
So far so good I assume that I have already (a)created a service account to be used for sql server and sql agen mail account (b) created a mail account (c)tested the mail. 5. I opened sql server and clicked on the mail in the management console to test the sql mail by typing the same mail account in the text box, then clicking test.... I got an error message the MAPI is not set up and it is not connecting to any profile.
another error I got was Error :xp_mapi profile : failed with mail error 0x80040106 Here are some questions that I am not sure about. Q1. Do I need to set up smtp service in service tab to use same account as sql server/ sql agent. It is using local system account now Q2. the above steps are correct, I guess so, so what is the reason not being able to set up the mail profile to be used by sql server mail
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:

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."
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.
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.
Our company use yahoo business mail server for our corporate mails. I know that I can configure database mail with SMTP. But when I try to configure database mail account with yahoo bizmail, I cannot do that. It gets configured but when I test it it doesn't send any mails. Do I need to have any special condiguration for this. SMTP address is smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com. Also I have specified the Authentication using my user name and password. Please help
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.
i have to create a scheduled task that does the following:
a) creates an Excel Spreadsheet from a SQL Query
b) sends the spreadsheet to a user
i then need to schedule this task so that it runs every day and creates a NEW spreadsheet (doesnt matter it the name is the same as long as it overwrite what is already there)
HELP me PLEASE i dont like this SQL Game anymore !!

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. 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 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?
Hello Everyone, I am trying to configure SQL MAIL and SQL SERVER AGENT MAIL feature of SQL SERVER 2000 with Lotus Domino server (Not Microsoft Exchange). Every thing goes fine and it works also. Problem starts when I try to restart SQL Agent Service. It hangs and the status of service remain 'starting'... Also the size of the sqlagent service process goes upto 12MB. I don't understand why? Can any one help me in solving this problem. I am using Windows 2000 Advanced Server and SQL Server 2000 with SP3. Domino client is R5.0.5 and Outlook 2000.
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 David E. Pierri Pseudo SQL Admin
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?

In my ASP.NET app, I'm executing a stored procedure via a SQLCommand the searches a customer database. I believe the default timeout is 90 seconds. I'm curious of what happens to the SQL Server Stored Procedure after timing out from the ASP.NET application. Does it timeout at the same time or do you have to set up a value in SQL Server?
