Database mail activation failure

    Does anyone know of a simple fix for the activation failure when setting up DB mail on SQL 2005 SP2? I am running SQL 2005 in a Windows 2003 clustered environment. Every time I try to send a test email it never gets sent. The error log contains the message "Activation failure" with no other details.

    Did you just upgrade to SP2 ? I've seen this happening and re-applying the database engine part of the SP2 fixed this....

    This is the first time I have setup DB mail since upgrading to SP2. I will give your solution a try. Thanks for the help!
