Check for errors in the sysmail_event_log system view in msdb. The description column should have more information.

Send the mails locally with the local client first. Make sure that your SMTP sender can do so.

You can do this with telnet or a local client : http://www.vsysad.com/2013/10/testing-smtp-server-from-the-command-line/

Hi Sue,

I had checked in sysmail_event_log table and it hasn't given any error message. In description column it shows "DatabaseMail process is started".

Hi Jones,

I have check using telnet with given steps from website. The output received is as given in the website, but haven't received mail using telnet either to gmail or to my company mail.

But when tested from database mail "Send test e-mail", I am able to receive test mail to my gmail account but not to my company mail account

Check with your mail administrators. They might have restrictions on STMP relays.
