Problems in Database mail in SQL server 2005

  • Hi,

    Could you please help me in the below issue?

    I have configured Database mail in SQL server 2005. But not able to send mail. I am getting the error as per the log file

    '' The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 2 (2009-05-27T09:22:39). Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Command not implemented. The server response was: Error: command not implemented)''

    Do you have any idea to troubleshoot this problem?

  • Hi

    Have you enabled dbmail within Surface Area config?

    Also how have you defined your smtp server, I have had in the past where "in some instances" you need to fully qualify the server name i.e. servername.domainname.com.

    I found the artical below when i first had this issue (good job I backup my fav's)

  • Hi,

    I have enabled database mail in SAC tool and SMTP server is put as you described. Using the same SMTP server, I am able to send mail from other server. The mail is in que but not getting delivered.

  • Can you telnet to the smtp server from the SQL server

    telnet server.domain.com 25

    helo" enter

    mail from: your Email Address enter

    rcpt to:"recipient address" enter

    data enter

    enter . enter

  • Hi,

    From the server I have given the telnet command and found the below message.

    220 ***************

    Please let me know is it correct?

  • 220 is just that a connection has been made.

    You need to try sending a mail. This will test relaying and a SMTP send.

    If you can do this download the tool below

  • Hi,

    Through SMTP command I am able to send message from that server. But not through database mail. Anything to check? Is it due to the access problem?
