How to send mails from sql server 2016

  • Hi All

    I am setup mail configuration in sql server database but it is not send and return error. like below is error message.

     

    The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 9 (2019-04-19T10:43:22). Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required. Learn more at). )

     

    Can you Please send some sample code .

     

     

    Regards

  • This doesn't sound like you need sample code but that the email server you're connecting to isn't allowing you to send emails. You probably need to talk to the administrator that is responsible for that server.

  • Make sure  the mail server is configured to allow the SQL server to relay messages. Also make sure you have set up the correct credentials for the database mail configuration. This last could be the cause of the "Authentication Required" error.

  • Try enabling the less secure apps setting. Refer to the following which addresses the same error with gmail:

  • There are other settings in gmail that can affect this. Other things to try such as Disable two factor authentication,  disable unlock captcha, log into gmail while on the server where you are setting this up. Essentially You need to mess with things on the gmail side.

  • Still Not Working...

  • It's not a SQL Server issue.  Check the google forums for smtp with gmail - that's what I did when setting up something at home to use gmail.

  • Didn't Lowell Aguirre post something on using gmail for this? I think it was several years ago, but should still be applicable.
