SQL Server Agent Notification Mail Won't Stop

  • Hello,

    I have an odd problem. As part of a troubleshooting process, I disabled email notifications for the SQL Server Agent jobs on a server. I did this by going to Properties for each job, then the Notifications section, then unchecked the 'E-mail' checkbox under Actions to perform when the job completes.

    But about 15 minutes after I did the steps above, I got another email from a job from which I am not supposed to be getting emails.

    1. How can I check why these emails continue to go out?

    2. How can I stop the emails?

    Thanks for any help!

  • Try disabling the Email Operator itself instead of disabling in each job.

    Expand SQL server agent

    Expand Oprator

    Right click on the email operator and uncheck the enabled check box

    click ok

    That looks like it did the trick. Thanks!

    Now I can work on the other issues, such as why turning off individual notifications doesn't work. In that case, does one need to delete and recreate the job?

    Thanks again,

  • That seems like a fairly weird problem, I'd try stopping the SQL Server Agent and starting it again.
