SQL Agent mail not sending the email

  • Hi,

         Can anyone help me resolve this issue? I have a problem sending

    out emails from SQL Server 2000. I created an operator and clicked on

    test button to send the email. I got a popup window saying that "The

    message sent successfully". But i am not getting any email.

    I read in the Microsoft article that the Exchange Server profile used

    should not have a Personal Message Store (.pst). Under the domain

    account of that server we see that there is a .pst file lying. we tried

    to delete it but it gave us an error saying that "The file is in use".

    Then we have stopped the mail session and were able to successfully

    delete that file. But when we clicked on the Test button again this

    time we got a message saying that the .pst file is not found. I have

    stopped the sql server agent and started it again. This time i see a

    different message. "The SQL Server agent mail session is not running;

    Check the mail profile and/or the SQL server agent startup account in

    the SQL Server agent Properties dialog Box".

    Now we have restored back the .pst file and then stopped and started

    the sql server agent. This time we didnt get any error but got the same

    message "The message sent successfully".

    Please advice as to what the problem should be. Any solution for this

    is really appreciated.

  • From Outlook, can you successfully send an email to the address assigned to the operator?  If yes, can you open Outlook with the profile used by SQLMail and send the email?

  • Hi actually my id doent have rights to open outlook on that box. i tried logging in with the service account but seems like the service account id on that box does not have permissions to login remotely.

    Please let me know if there is a way to find out as to whats happening.

  • Can the Exchange administrator check out the profile and see if it is actually sending out the email?  What happens if you copy the email address from the operator and use it in the To... box of an email from you?  Does it get through?

  • Hi once the exchange administrator tried to send an email to me from that box and i got the email. i am using my email address in the operator
