Do you have any idea why the email is not going through some time?. It works one day , next day it fails. we have a bunch of jobs and each send emails. some of the mails have no problem but some have . this Database mail has been working for about 2 years without any issues. all of a sudden this issue happened. (Relaying not allowed error..) We have not changed anything on the SQl server side. Do you think it is the problem with third party mail server?

Is this because it is virtual or do you think there is something going on with the specific IP?

STMP uses a port to send data from your computer to mail server. Just like SQL Server uses port 1433 (default).

STMP for gmail server is 587.

Default port for SMTP is 25. Usually in many companies they block all port that are not needed. It could be possible that port 25 has been unblocked and that is why you could send email through your office mail server and port 587 is blocked that is why you cannot send email using gmail server.

Solution, make exception in Firewall to unblock 587 Or Turn off firewall and test sending an email using gmail mail server, if it goes through. Then it is confirmed that problem is with Firewall blocking. Don’t forget to turn on your Firewall after testing is completed.

priya:
yes, sql it is sending using an SMTP server; this is configured when creating the mail profile along with the accounts; these accounts are “SMTP accounts”, that means these they are used to send the email

katheesh kumar:
mail sending is restricted to local company accounts; in order to send email to outside you have to add the exceptions (external mail addresses) or make an automatic relay to forward the emails form the sql server

but works fine for mail company id and server name and with given port number

we don’t have Exchange server. once we configured the database mail, is it using any SMTP sever?. could you clarify how the mail works?
we are using the third party email server, Network solutions for our office mails.
where do I configure the “Relaying”.. We don’t have IIS in the sql server machine

The mail works sometime , but sometimes it fails. Is this a network issue?

Read : query result section.

Step 1: Write a sql statement, to send email, put you select statement in the same query and send the output of the query in the email.

Execute SSIS Package as a job, and schedule that job.

And set a notification to that job, like if job fails then send an alert. Meaning when SSIS Packege will fail, job will fail and if job fails then you will get a notification email.

I want to send email when the SSIS Package fails due to any reason. If you know how achive this task then please let me know asap.

Thanks in advance

I learned a lot today

I would also recommend that you also add some instructions and screenshots showing how to configure SQL Server Agents to use Database Mail.

Microsoft’s article cover it here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190437(SQL.90).aspx

Enjoy.

USE msdb
GO
EXEC sp_send_dbmail @profile_name=’PinalProfile’,
@recipients=’test@Example.com’,
@subject=’Test message’,
@body=’This is the body of the test message.
Congrates Database Mail Received By you Successfully.’,
- – this is the problematic part
@query = ‘SELECT * From sysobjects’,
@attach_query_result_as_file = 1,
@query_attachment_filename =’Results.txt’;
