i have a problem

  • i have created one job which will take daily backup from the server at 12:00 pm, but now what i want is that it will send me an notification email, after it completes the backup, so i tried notification option.

    after clicking on the email operator i added 1 operator, and after specifiying email address when i test, it showed following err message.

    i dont know what is the reason behind i have configured my outlook express to some pop3 email and it works fine, and i thought sql server will use tht pop3 mail alc for sending email, but its not working , anybody know why is that

     

    Following is the Err message

    -------------------------------------------

    Error 22022: SQLServerAgent Error: The SQLServerAgent mail session is

  • You need to create what is called a MAPI profile for SQL Server to use for SQL Server Agent. Unfortunately, Outlook Express does not create a MAPI profile. Full blown Microsoft Outlook does.

    Setting up SQL Mail can often be a chore and Microsoft has produced a series of KB articles that detail what you have to do a lot better than what is in Books Online:

  • INF: How to Configure SQL Mail
  • INF: Frequently Asked Questions - SQL Server - SQL Mail
  • INF: Common SQL Mail Problems
