Hi Joe,
Use should use port number 587 or 2525 and smtp.gmail.com as server name if you are using gmail account as sender.Also you must logged in with your account

The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 5 (2012-01-14T13:55:06). Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Failure sending mail.)

Getting this even though I’m using identical host/port and credentials in an email client on the same machine that’s able to send without issue.

Hi Hassan,
Check whether you are connected to Internet while sending mails..you must have connected while sending database mails.

The database mail was failing for me until I checked the Annonimious authentication in the user setup. Then it worked like a charm. Thanks for the post.

This works perfectly. thank you so much. but i will make this much simple.

01.use your mail server.(if you work, then company mail server)
To find the mail server go to sql reporting services configutration manager and click mail settings.

02.keep port as 24.

03. uncheck the Require secure connections checked

04. under “Basic authentication”
username: give a email address that use as sender(from:) of the mail.
password: type the email address password you provide above.

The above configuration is for Database mail.

Hi,

You can create a SP as per your requirement and using this MSDB.DBO.SP_SEND_DBMAIL stored procedure , you can send an email.

Let me know if you need more help in this.

Thanks,

QUESTION QUESTION QUESTION:

EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
@recipients=N’JDOE’
,@body=’Message Body’,
@subject =’Message Subject’

— “JDOE” is the NT Profile name

the email shows ‘queued’ but it doesn’t get delivered, anyone had to use “DOMAIN\USER” as @recipients or just “NT USER ID” as the @recipients?

Please respond if you know it works or not.

I am positive, it used to work with SQL Mail (SQL 2000).
