database mail Error
-
Hi
I have set up database mail.
I know the settings are correct because I use the same ones for MS Outlook on the same machine.
I am getting the following error.
The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 1 (2012-01-12T15:35:06). Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Authentication failed.).
)
than you

Authentication failed means your mails erver requires a username and password to send an email...you cannot leave it blank.
look at the profile you created,and edit the section near the bottom to have"basic authentication" selected, it so that it has the username and password:

also, doublec check which email address you are using.
i know, for exmaple, from one of my mail servers, my from address must be the same as the email address realted to teh account:
so if my account thinks lowell@somedomain.com uses a specific username/password pair, i cannot send emails imersonating "support@anotherdomain.com" and supply those other specific credentials. it's some anti-spam thing, i think.
that can vary depending on your mail server, but take that into consideration too.

it worked on outlook, but not on SQL database Mail :angry:

A common issue with Database Mail is that it is blocked by anti-virus/anti-malware programs, http://wiseman-wiseguy.blogspot.com/2009/07/mystery-of-failing-database-mail.html. You should also check that smtp is opon on the firewall as outlook uses MAPI and database mail uses SMTP.
Have you tried using GMAIL or HOTMAIL with database mail to see if that works?

it worked on outlook, but not on SQL database Mail :angry:oops spoke too soon then.
Jacks suggestion on checking the firewall is the first thing to check.
if that is opened up, check the web page athttp://www.mxtoolbox.com/
and make sure the value you have for the mail server is really the right one for the domain.

Afaik, database mail only support smtp. Can you try to telnet your mail server from your sql server to see if you get a response.
telnet yourserver 25
