Fixed it :-P:-P

there was a mail stuck in the queue which I removed via

Use MSDB

ALTER QUEUE ExternalMailQueue WITH STATUS = ON

set nocount on

declare @Conversation_handle uniqueidentifier;

declare @message_type nvarchar(256);

declare @counter bigint;

declare @counter2 bigint;

set @counter = (select count(*) from ExternalMailQueue)

set @counter2=0

while (@counter2<=@counter)

begin

receive @Conversation_handle = conversation_handle, @message_type = message_type_name from ExternalMailQueue

set @counter2 = @counter2 + 1

end

the --Start mail services

exec sysmail_start_sp

and viola :cool::cool:
