SQL 2005 Email issues - email can't be sent

  • I followed the steps to set up a new email account in SQL 2005, as follow:

    STEP 1: (enable the Database Mail )

    use master

    go

    sp_configure 'show advanced options',1

    go

    reconfigure with override

    go

    sp_configure 'Database Mail XPs',1

    --go

    --sp_configure 'SQL Mail XPs',0

    go

    reconfigure

    go

    STEP 2: (create the account)

    EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_account_sp

    @account_name = 'DBA',

    @description = 'Mail account for CAR Database Mail',

    @email_address = 'myemail@popmanager.com',

    @display_name = 'Client Account Review',

    @username='myUserName',

    @password='myPassword',

    @mailserver_name = 'myserver.com'

    STEP 3: (create a Mail profile)

    EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_profile_sp

    @profile_name = 'CAR',

    @description = 'Profile used for CAR database mail'

    STEP 4: (add the Database Mail account to Mail Profile)

    EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_profileaccount_sp

    @profile_name = 'CAR',

    @account_name = 'DBA',

    @sequence_number = 1

    STEP 5: (grant the Database Mail profile access to the msdb public database role / make profile as default Database Mail profile)

    EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_principalprofile_sp

    @profile_name = 'CAR',

    @principal_name = 'public',

    @is_default = 1 ;

    Unfortunatelly the email is not going out. The mail logs show the following erro:

    "The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 1 (2007-10-08T11:24:06). Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Command not implemented. The server response was: Command not Supported). )"

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks,
