    xp_readmail: failed with operating system error 80 [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 18024)

    It was working fine for almost two years. We have SQL SERVER 2000 with SP3 on WIN2K SP 4.

  • Have any changes/upgrades been performed on your Exchange server?

  • Thanks for your reply: I don't know about exchange server but am able to open outlook and see the new messages.

     

  • If the exchange server was becomes unavailable, SQL Mail has a tendencyto get "stuck". Usually restarting the service fixes the problem, but sometimes you need to reboot the whole server.

  • I have rebooted the whole server still getting same error.

  • What version of Outlook are you using?

     

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

  • Outlook 2000

  • Are you able to upgrade to Outlook 2002?

    I did a google search and found a similar problem where MS support suggested the upgrade and it fixed the problems.

  • I have the same problems since years. The error 80  occures when someone sends a message with html-contents. I delete this message in outlook and then it works. I didn't found any solution. But maybe this is a hint.

  • Hmmm ... not up to speed on the changes between Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2002. Would it be likely that Outlook 2002 handles HTML email differently?

  • Any attachmentst to the email that may be blowing up size? Had something similair when Exhange didn't like anything greater than 1 Mb

  • I did not do any thing but it started working again. Any ideas why?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Use xp_smtp_sendmail

  • I second the call to use xp_smtp_sendmail. since implementing at our site we've had no problems at all.

  • I also get the same error message, but i have found why it gives.

     

    1. because the xp_readmail has problems reading HTML messages with some background image attached to it.

    2. because the xp_readmail has problems reading Emails with Inline attachments in Outlook 2000.

    My Questions is

    As i read in this post i am now going to try to upgrade outlook to 2002 but was wondering would it be better upgrade straight from outlook 2000 to outlook 2003 ?

    Thanks a millon
