  • msdb has some tables which contain the errors and their details.

    i create a view to make them eaiser to access, i think this might help you.

    i get errors like this:

    The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 92 (2010-04-20T13:27:59).

    Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server.

    (Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Requested action not taken: mailbox not available). )

    -- CREATE VIEW sp_FailMail

    FROM [msdb].[dbo].[sysmail_event_log] err

  • Try sending some Test mails. Then run the below query and post the results

    select * from msdb..sysmail_allitems

    Thanks and Regards
