Database Mail Issue...

  • Hi there ..

    I setup the Database Mail on Sql Server 2008 R2, when i setup the DBMAIL most of the servers are on Windows Server 2003 & some of them are on 2008 and on most of the server I get this error,

    "The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 3 (2012-11-07T22:09:50). Exception Message: Could not connect to mail server. (No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 205.191.22.44:25)."

    I figured out this error from this article http://sivasql.blogspot.com/2012/11/sql-mail-mail-could-not-be-sent-to.html. and already working on it...

    and now due to our application requirement we migrated all the SERVER 2003 to SERVER 2008, now i am getting the same error on DBMAIL which i setup when i have SERVER 2003 and was running successfully ...

    IP Address of all the servers which migrated from 2003 to 2008 remain the same!

    Could not connect to mail server. (No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 205.191.22.44:25)."

    It's a connectivity issue. Talk to your network admins.

  • Could be the firewall blocking smtp connections or the mail server itself not allowing smtp connections.
