Sql Agent Mail -not Responding
Apr 15, 2004
My sql agent mail suddenly stops working. The mails are usually going to the people. But once in a while I have this wierd problem of mails not reaching the recipients. Happens once in 2-3 weeks, starts working fine if I restart the server. When I open the Outlook client, the outbox is also empty, but still the mails are not gone.
If I Test the mail profile in the sql agent properties, it gives time out error. Everything becomes okay if I restart the server.
OS: Win 2K sp4
Server : SQL 2000 SP3
Account : Verified that the account is in Administrator Group
There is only one MAPI32.DLL file and is in system32 folder.
The wierd part is everything works if I restart..any help would be much appreciated.

Hi All,
Do anybody know if it's possible to have an SQL 2005 server deal with and out of office reply from an email its send via the new Database Mail?
My application sends mail to users, giving them task instructions via Database Mail, however if they have thier out of office set true, I just get a reply msg in the profiles inbox. I would like the SQL server to know that they are out of office.
I can recogise the replys by the subject and I have control over the format of the replies, so its just case of getting the SQL server to read msg in the inbox.
Thanks

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 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 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 have a daily task set up to email a report to me. When I go to look at the jobs it says it is still executing after a number of hours. I Can't stop the job with out stopping SQL Agent. I can't stop SQL Mail. If I stop the SQL Agent I can't start it again. I try to open Outlook (98) but it won't open either. Can't view the properties of Outlook either. Only way to cure this is to reboot the server. The account we are using to start SQL and SQL Agent is a FDomain Admins account. When I try to log off the server I get and error message saying olemainthreadwndname is not responding. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi,I've been able to successfully configure SQL Server Agent to sendnotification emails to an appropriate Operator in the event of an alertbeing fired. This all works fine on one condition - that Outlook clientis running on the server.If Outlook is not running the alerts still be fired (i.e. the OccuranceRate still increases as and when expected), but the emails beinggenerated will not be sent until the next time Outlook is opened.Clearly it's unwise to rely on Outlook being open on the server at alltimes, so I was wondering if anyone knows of a workaround to ensurethese emails are processed immediately?I'm using SQL Server 2000 SP4 and Outlook 2003.thanks,Bob.

Hi,
Wondering if anyone there can tell me what I'm doing wrong (and please be gentle as I'm not at all techy).
I have a DTS scheduled on the Server Agent to run, and at the end it is to send a mail to notify me and several others that it has completed. Trouble is, it runs but doesn't send the mail.
However if I execute the DTS manually it does send the mail.
I have a idea it might be to do with the Profile in SQL Mail in Server Settings on the Properties of the server, but have no idea how to correct this.
Can anybody help?

Here's the scoop, and I've seen several posts to this effect but none of the solutions have worked.
Enabled database mail. confirmed profiles and can send test database mail from Query Window. I can also right click Database mail and send test emails. Configured valid operator using same email address for the test emails above.
Enabled database mail profile under SQL Agent properties > Alert System.
From what I've seen, the test button is supposed to be greyed out, and it is. However alerts do not send emails operator.
I've done this
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186358(SQL.90).aspx
and this
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=322173&SiteID=1
and have bounced the Agent after each change but still no mail from the Agent.
I've tried select * from sys_mail_event_log no errors.
For the life of me, I can't see why the Agent won't send mail.
Help.

I have sql 2000 sp4 running on a cluster, we had to fail over to other cluster, and now the sql agent choice to use a mail profile is grayed out. I can go to sql mail and test the profile and it works, but I can't change it for the sql agent? Anyone seen this before

I've just installed and configured outlook 2003 with sql agent mail and I've come across a strange conundrum: messages from agent mail are not actually sent unless the outlook client is open, but the default mail folder is locked by agent when agent is started, thus preventing outlook 2003 from opening. If I try things the other way - opening the client and then configuring/restarting agent mail - then agent mail can't access the default mail folder because the client has it locked.
There doesn't seem to be any way to win here.
Anyone come across this issue and found a workaround?

Using SQL 2005, SSIS, I have an SSIS package which is scheduled as a SQL Server Agent job. The package contains a Send Mail task. This task fails when SQL Agent runs the package. The task succeeds when executed interactively from the package, logged on as the SQL Agent service account. The package as a whole succeeds when executed from "Start Debugging". An Execute SQL Task in the same package containing an sp_send_dbmail statement succeeds when SQL Agent runs the job, and the same sp_send_dbmail succeeds in Mgmt Studio query window. All these events all logged onto the server as the SQL Server/SQL Agent service account.
I would appreciate ideas on what else to check for here, so that I can use the Send Mail SSIS task in packages which are run by SQL Agent jobs.
Thanks, Holly

Hello, hoping someone might be able to help.
I've set up Database Mail on an instance of 2005 and the test mail works just fine. However, when testing a job (notify on fail, success, whatever) the mail fails to send. Job History last information reads NOTE: Failed to notify 'My Name' via email.
Checked out the Database Mail logs - nothing interesting.
Restarted the Agent service and then checked out the current Agent Log. Found message:
[260] Unable to start mail session (reason: No mail profile defined).
The 'DatabaseMailProfile' key is most certainly defined in the Registry
(at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', N'SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1SQLServerAgent')
I'm at a loss...why is it telling me no mail profile defined?
I'd be most grateful for any help if anybody else has run across this problem.
Cheers,
Megan

Hi All,
Great forum y'all have going here.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
Enterprise Manager:
I have setup and 'sucessfully tested a MAPI session' with a mail profile via support services > sql mail. That works fine, however in sql server agent properties the mail session section on the first general tab appears to be greyed out.
scenario is:
Windows Server 2003 SBS edition
SQL Server 2000 SP3
Exchange Server 2003 is also running on the server, with Outlook 2003 client (so i suspect side chaining issue).
Any help appreciated! did not have any luck googling or using microsoft KB.

It's a Windows 2000 Server box with SQL 2000 on it. MSSQLSERVER &SQLSERVERAGENT services are logged in as valid domain user. I set up amail profile for that user, and can send email via Outlook 2003.However, when I go to the SQL Agent Properties in Enterprise Manager,Mail Profile is disabled.I've restarted the services & even tried rebooting the server. Thisworks on my other servers, but they're Windows 2003. Not sure ifthat's the problem though.Anybody have any clues?

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 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

I want to enable notifications for SQL Agent for my backup jobs.
I configured database mail and that works, it sent me a test message.
However, when I go to tell the SQL Agent to use it, it sees database mail as an option, but the drop down for Profile is blank.
Any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong?
(I restarted the agent service just in case)

I set up an Operator with email Name: DWhelpton@k-and-s.com;MWeaver@k-and-s.com

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.

It appears that our web server (IIS 4) stopped responding after running
some BCP jobs. Anyone know why BCP would interfere with IIS.
SQL and IIS are on the same server. Anyone had problems with IIS/SQL getting along?
After the problem showed up, SQL responds fine in ISQLw, but the Web service goes out to lunch.

I have an SQL Server 6.5 which is not responding to connections.
If I re-start this in single user mode I get the following errors in the NT event log
Warning: The open procedure for service "MSSQLServer" in DLL "SQLCTR60.DLL" has taken longer than the established wait time to complete.
Error: DB-LIBRARY error - SQL Server connection timed out (This error is then repeated 4 times every minute)
When I go into Enterprise manager or ISQLw, to start the service, the application does not respond.
Any ideas what may have caused this on a previously stable installation.

Hello everyone,
I've noticed some strange behavior on my SQL Server. A little background first:
This server is strictly used for SQL Server
Active/Passive cluster
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise w/ SP1
SQL 2005 Enterprise w/ SP2
8GB of total memory in the server, SQL Server has min: 4GB, max: 6GB
Disk drives are on a SAN
4 hyperthreaded, Xeon 1.4GHz proccessors
Now, the issue I'm seeing...
Every once in a while, my users will start to complain about application slowness and we'll start getting application timeouts. I'll look at my SQL server and my server stops responding for a time period of 8-9 seconds. One minute after the server 'wakes up', the process starts again where it will not respond for 8-9 seconds. The clock on the server stops refreshing then will jump to the current time, and in perfmon, there is an actual break in the counters. This does not happen at all times throughout the day, but I do need to find out a solution for this behavior.
During this 8-9 seconds, all processing is put on hold and continues when the server 'wakes up'. Any new connections to the server are accepted during this timeframe, but have to wait through this 'dead' time as well.
Any and all comments, suggestions, concerns, or things I could be looking at are appreciated.
Jarret
