    Hi All,

    In one of the servers, database mail is not sending mails if the To address is more than 4 and CC is more than 2. I am getting the below error

    "The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 4 (2013-06-26T18:11:38). Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (The operation has timed out.)."

    There is no issues with SMTP server. It was working last month but stopped working this month.

    Running out of clues..

    Thanks for your help!!!

    It was working last month but stopped working this month.

    There is most likely something changed in the last month: or in your e-mail list of reciepients, or in the e-mail program (exchange?) settings. It could even be an anti-virus program that block the mail as a mass-mailing.

    I managed to fix it by creating a DL in outlook and using that DL in the database mail. Not really sure, if microsoft has a limit on the number of email address that one can have in the Recipients and CC list.
