xp_sendmail failure

  • Good day All,

    I am experiencing this error when trying to execute xp_sendmail:

    Server: Msg 50000, Level 16, State 1, Procedure up_OARaiseError, Line 43

    sp_OACreate SQLMail_G.clsBase failed: null object

    Mail failed.

    This occurs when even just running the extended sproc without any parameters. I know that this sproc calls odsole70.dll, but any other info is quite scarce.

    Has anybody seen this before, and how do i get xp_sendmail to work properly?

    Thanks for the help, have a great day.

  • It's kinda har to say (up_OARaiserror looks like something custom made) other than xp_sendmail is generally a royal PITA to get working. From when I used to use it, I can't recall the need of any sp_OA* procs.

    Probably the 'easiest' (?) would be to get rid of xp_sendmail altogether - use xpsmtp instead.

    It's easier, more reliable, and... just works. I recommend at least you take a look.
