SQL Server 2008 :: Database Mail - Yahoo SMTP Configuration
May 5, 2014
I'm having trouble in configuring Yahoo's SMTP for Database Mail. Here is my current settings:
Email Address: xxx@yahoo.com
Server Name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port Number: 465
This server requires a secure connection (SSL) - check
Basic Authentication
Username: xxx@yahoo.com
Password: xxx
When I tried sending a test email, it didn't work. But when I changed my SMTP to use Gmail, it worked!
Our company use yahoo business mail server for our corporate mails. I know that I can configure database mail with SMTP. But when I try to configure database mail account with yahoo bizmail, I cannot do that. It gets configured but when I test it it doesn't send any mails. Do I need to have any special condiguration for this. SMTP address is smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com. Also I have specified the Authentication using my user name and password. Please help

but while in the same mail set up in previous instance of sql server 2005 the message was sending very well. After installing new instance of sql server 2005 the problem is arising.
Anybody can tell me that what I can do so that i can send mail using the SMTP databasemail account."
Hi all,At this moment I'm trying to get database mail working. According tosome people it should be easy. Well...that is not the case for me.I'm having the following error:The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail serverfailure. (Sending Mail using Account 2 (2006-11-24T08:48:15). ExceptionMessage: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Command not implemented.The server response was: Command not Supported).)SQL Server 2005 is installed on a separate server and the SMTP Serveris Lotus Notes. connecting with port 25.Start and stopping the SQL Server and SQL Server agent i tried already.i tried sysmail_stop_sp and sysmail_start_sp.Sometimes when starting or stopping the Mail with the followingcommands :exec sysmail_stop_spGOexec sysmail_start_spGOI will get the following error:Msg 233, Level 20, State 0, Line 0A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to theserver. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is onthe other end of the pipe.)So any help would be appreciated.Hennie
Hello, The Database Mail feature is already enabled on the server, also I have a mail account on the other server. The problem I faced is that I need to send mail from my SQL Server using a created email account on the other server. How should I configure my email to do that ? Should I use a sysmail_add_account procedure to enable account, also set profile and profile account ? Does this way creates server mail account that is binded with other email account? The mail should be sent from my SQL Server. Thank You.
Hello,Does anyone know how I can set SQL Server up so that after it hascompleted a backup sucessfully it will send the completion report toan e-mail address via SMTP.Unfortunatly we cannot install MS OUTLOOK Express or similar.Is this possible?Many thanks in advance,Allan Martin
I'm trying to make my SEND MAIL TASK in SSIS dynamic, by retrieving SMTP Server name (amongst other email message information) from a table.
I've got an SP that is getting the information into package variable's, and when I don't try and have a dynamic server name (i.e. I use a specified SMTP server in my SMPT Server connection), then the email get sent off.
I'm trying to use an expression to build alter the send mail to use the server name I have in a user variable.
I've tried using the expression for the property: SmtpConnection set to: RTRIM( @[User::MailServer])
I also tried without the RTRIM - I only added it because the error messages seem to include a full 'string' length, and there doesn't seem to be a 'varchar' data type for SSIS variables.
so: a> Is SMTPConnection the property I need to be setting? None of the others seem correct b> If SMTPConnection IS the property I need, does the value give the SMTP Server Name, or just the Name of the connection from the Connection Manager's?
Thanks
Part-Answer to: b> The SMPTConnection property sets the name of the CONNECTION to be used. That Connection needs to set the name of the server. So n ow, the question becomes, how do I configure that from SQL (I know how to use package configurations from XML files).
Script to Reverse Engineer / Script out your EXISTING database mail settings?
I set up a profile to use gMail, and it seems logical for me to export out the settings to a script, then run the script on my laptop, other servers, etc.
There's no built in option, so I figured i'd ping the forum before i do it myself.
There are example scripts where you fill in the blanks, examples how to set up dbmail, but i did not find anything that scripts out existing settings.
I have inherited a server on which is a maintenance plan with two subplans on different schedules. In each subplan there are Execute T-SQL tasks with scripts for index rebuilds. Each task is set up with a Completion arrow to the next task and a Failure arrow to a Notify Operator Task. I was asked to add a task for index rebuilds to a specific subplan for a specific database, which is what the other tasks also do. I discovered that my task was failing but the others were fine. No notification was sent about my task failing even though the job is marked in MSDB as a failed job. I have sent a test email using the "Send Test Email..." option when right clicking Database Mail in SSMSand I receive an email so I know Database Mail works.
I set up a test job to model the index job that I can't get notifications from. I have two T-SQL tasks that just select the top row from a small table. The first task has a syntax error that I did so it would fail. I have a failure arrow to a Notify Operator Task and a Completion arrow to another T-SQL task with no syntax error which has a Success arrow to a Notify Operator task. As expected, when I execute this job I receive one failure email and one success email.
The only other troubleshooting step I know to try is to add a Notify Operator task before my failing task. That Notify Operator task will hopefully fire to tell me that the previous step was successful. I am not having problems with the other steps so I was just thinking I would try to get the subplan to send me a success email about one of the steps that has been working fine.
Is there any automated script available to - "Monitor Database Growth and if any DB is grown by 20%, sending mail alerts"? If not, what is the approach to write the T SQL script ?
Does anyone have any step by step instructions for how to send smtp mail from SQL? I guess I can use xp_cmdshell to run a vb script or something but I have no clue besides that as to what's involved.
Has anyone ever set up sql mail through smtp. I am trying to automate my server and not having to much success as i cannot use exchange for company reasons. I understand that i am able to set this up through outlook and not outlook express. this is what i have tried to do: 1. Remove any MAPI application (Full Outlook or Microsoft Messaging from control panel). It is important that there are no mapi profiles on the server. 2. Logon to the SQL server using the SQLService account 3. Check that Outlook Express is the default Mail client (done from IE/tools/Internet Options/Programs) 4. Check that there is a mail account configured, pointing to an SMTP server, say aklexch1 (just put bogus stuff in for the POP server) 5. test that you can send a message (ignoring the receive errors) from Outlook Express to your @advantagegroup.co.nz address
Only after step 5 is working should you start testing from SQL
6. In SQL Mail config you will not see any profiles in the list but just type 'Default' 7. Create an SQL Operator with an @advantagegroup.co.nz address and click the test button
I am finding an error in SQL Server Agent log which is related to database mail configuration. Can any one please guide me how to configure the database mail configuration to transfer the data from SQL CE to SQL server.
Has anyone been able to configure Database Mail and successfully send an email message? I set it up this afternoon, but all my messages are sitting in the sys_mailitems table of the msdb database.

Has anyone got deatils on how to go about setting up sql through an smtp client. I am unable to configure the automation service through outlook express as I understand that it is not supported.

Can anyone adivise me with setting up mail in SQL 7
I keep recieving Mapi and logon errors when starting mail and service manager. I have also tried using a internet mail account which has not worked either. I have been told that sql mail should have a default mail client that I have specified as the SQL service account. Any feedback or advise in this area would be extremley helpful as I am stumped at the moment.
Hi, I have RS 2000 running on windows 2003 server. I want user to subscribe to reports and receive reports via email. Initially SMTP was not installed for IIS 6.0, so I installed it and the right way (I had done it on different machine before and was succefull in that) but on this particular machines ...I don't see "Default SMTP Virtual Server" node when I open IIS manager. This is the third day I am working on this issue ..please help me out guys, prashant
I want to send mails from SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express for which I referred to the article at http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3626056. I could successfully do the steps from step 1 to step 6 listed at the above URL. In fact, when I sent a test mail (as cited in step 6), SQL Server displays the message Mail queued though the mail didn't get delivered. The mail server address I am using is smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk.
But when I expand the Management node in the Management Studio Express GUI, I don't find Database Mail as a child node. In fact, there are only 2 child nodes under the Management node - SQL Server Logs & Activity Monitor.
Why isn't Database Mail listed under the Management node? What am I missing here?
Also when I open Surface Area Configuration & then click Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections, the following error gets generated:
Computer localhost does not exist on the network, or the computer cannot be configured remotely. Verify that the remote computer has the required Windows Management Instrumentation components and then try again. (SQLSAC)
Additional Information:
The type initializer 'System.Management.ManagementPath' threw an exception. (System.Management) Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.Management.WbemDefPath' to interface type 'System.Management.IWbemPath'. The operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '(38C15AF2-736C-477E-9E51-238AF8667DCC)' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)). (System.Management) When I click Surface Area Configuration for Features, it generates the error cited above but from the first bulleted list.
How do I overcome this error? I confirmed that Windows Management Instrumentation is running by opening Services from Control Panel ---> Administrative Tools.
I am on WinXP Pro SP2. Please note that I also have SQL Server 7.0 installed in my machine which is a standalone m/c.
I am new to the SSIS package and was trying to figure out how to use SMTP authetication with a 'Send Mail Task' Our company's server requries SMTP authentication for mail. The Send Mail task only allows for Windows authentication.
What can I do to get the SMTP authentication to work for the Send Mail Task? Regards, James Robb
We have an SSIS job that runs once a day and sends emails. For security reasons, IT switched the send-mail porton the smtp server from 25 to a different number (let's say 1234).
So, I changed the SSIS SMTP Connection Manager's smtpServer string to smptserver:1234
However, this does not seem to be working. I keep getting 'Send Mail Failure' error.
Any ideas how to set the port number for sending emails using SSIS?
This is SQL Server 2008R2. On the SQL Server Configuration I'm unable to see SQL Server Browser. But when I check the services I can see the SQL Browser running.
Under SQL Server Configuration Manager > SQL Server Services
1. Full text 2. SQL Server (Default) 3. SQL Agent (Default)
But I'm unable to see the SQL Browser services here. What is the remedy?
Hello dear i am using windows 2003 server where i have installed smtp server now i want to configure with remote stmp so i can send an email to any domain.
i have 70 SQL database servers and i setup DB Mail on the 70 Servers, i want to know is there a way to find the status of all the jobs which i assigned the DB Mail and if its working/failing... is there a script i can run on powershell or SQL to find out that information
I have multiple task flows with precedence constraints and i have changed the constraint as completion to execute the package even though there is failure in one of the tasks in the package but every time the send mail success is executed instead of Send mail Failure task.
I have been tasked with moving our SQL server estate onto new 64bit SQL 2008 Virtual servers on a VM base. Each Virtual server will be attached to our SAN that i will have no control over. Do i ask for multiple LUNs pretending that there is a COS), Etemp), FData) and Glog) disk structure or do I just present a very big space as a single C: drive and let it go.We are consolidating lots of old physical servers onto fewer (more powerful) virtual servers (according to the VM and SAN administrators)
I have got problems with installation of a default instance on SQL Server 2008 on Vista Home Premium. During the step of Server Configuration you should enter UserName and password for each service. I do not know what user name to type. I tried every possible combination but the outcome is always the same - after typing usernames and passwords, installation suddenly fails without casting any exception. I'm not sure if I do something wrong (wrong User Name or Password) or is it a problem with installation application or with OS. Please, help.
