xp_sendmail: failed with operating system error 80

  •  I am trying to use xp_SendMail to send a mail with a query and attach results=true and I am getting "xp_sendmail: failed with operating system error 80".

    I can send an email using xp_sendmail with attachment (@attachments option) but if I use query and attach results=true it will come up with xp_sendmail: failed with operating system error 80 error message.

    This used to work before.

    my os win2000 server+sql 2000(sp4)

     

  • Check for any security changes...

    Did you try restarting sql mail?

    Final option will be restarting sql.

  • I have not made any changes to this server.

    I have restarted the server but the problem still existed.

    thks

     

  • where is your query outputting too. check f ur sql server has permission to write to that path. it must be a permission problem with windows file and folder. check that.

  • maybe it is permission problem, i have tested and found:

    1) get error

    EXEC xp_sendmail @recipients = 'my@mail.com',

       @query = 'SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES',

       @subject = 'SQL Server Report',

       @message = 'The contents of INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES:',

       @attach_results = 'TRUE', @width = 250

    2) no error

    EXEC xp_sendmail @recipients = 'my@mail.com',

       @query = 'SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES',

       @subject = 'SQL Server Report',

       @message = 'The contents of INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES:',

       @attach_results = 'false', @width = 250

    3) no error

    EXEC xp_sendmail @recipients = 'my@mail.com',

       @attaches='c:\test.txt',   @subject = 'SQL Server Report',

       @message = 'The contents of INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES:',

       @width = 250

    how can i solve it ?
