database mail failing

  • hi i have database mail set up in my server with the same smtp configurations i have in other servers which are working fine. But with this server i keep getting this error:

    The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 1 (2010-10-14T14:01:11). Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to send as this sender).

    )

    can you tell me what else to check please

  • that your email server is allowing this particular SQL Server to relay.

    That the user account that is the 'sender' from SQL server is a good address. (if it is authenticating)

  • what would be the user account that is the 'sender' ? the sql server agent login account? does it need a role?

  • unless you have chosen to use SMTP authentication, it can be anything you want.

    so , if you authenticate, it has to be a real email address on the email server.

    if you send with no authentication, it can be whatever.

  • issue fixed , i needed to add the ip address to the relay.

  • I know this is a really old post but i resolved this issue by creating an Operator as i was trying to send emails without first creating an operator and hence the error message was saying unavailable mailbox

    Good luck
    Kal
