  Hi

  I have database mail setup and when I send an email via dbmail to myself for example, I see a BROKER_RECEIVE_WAITFOR in "ACTIVITY MONITOR".

  Status: SUSPENDED

  DBName: msdb

  Command: DELETE

  Program Name: DatabaseMail90 <SomeMsgId>

  Is this a SQL issue of some kind or should I be concerned?

  thanks!

  It looks like a pretty common problem. I found the following link for it. It doesn't look like anything to be concerned about:

  There's a good blog post on this here

  He suggests resetting the Database Mail Executable Minimum Lifetime (seconds) parameter if this is bothering you
