Is it possible to make contingency for when SQL sends a mail as a result of an alert but the mail server simply fails to deliver? I think I know the answer her but checking.Found nothing on google but advise on how to set up Dbmail; it has worked perfectly until this one incident.
Perhaps you can additionally query (all) the SQL servers from a central management location for raised alerts and check the results against the mails sent/received? But you have to wonder if it is important enough to put that much effort in something that normally works for 99% of the time.
