Hai .....
           I have build a stored procedure that is used to dispatch mails using CDO.Message com object using sp_OACreate method of sql server 2000 with sp3a. I get the following error message when i try to set the port number to the configuration. But the problem vanishes when i comment the port number setting:
The message could not be sent to the SMTP server. The transport error code was 0x80070057. The server response was not available
This is code that I have used FYI
DECLARE @object int
DECLARE @hr int
EXEC @hr = sp_OACreate 'CDO.Message', @object OUT
IF @hr <> 0
     SELECT -1
EXEC @hr = sp_OASetProperty @object, 'Configuration.fields(".Value','2'">http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing").Value','2'
IF @hr <> 0
     SELECT -1
/* EXEC @hr = sp_OASetProperty @object, 'Configuration.fields(".Value'">http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport").Value', @SMTPServerPort
IF @hr <> 0
     RETURN NULL
*/
EXEC @hr = sp_OASetProperty @object, 'Configuration.fields(".Value'">http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver").Value', @SMTPServer
IF @hr <> 0
          SELECT -1
EXEC @hr = sp_OASetProperty @object, 'Configuration.fields(".Value'">http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername").Value', @SendUsername
IF @hr <> 0
          SELECT -1
EXEC @hr = sp_OASetProperty @object, 'Configuration.fields(".Value'">http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword").Value', @SendPassword
IF @hr <> 0
          SELECT -1

EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @object, 'Configuration.Fields.Update', null
IF @hr <> 0
          SELECT -1
      SELECT @object

Check the SMTP server. There are security settings concerning 'forwarding'. The SQL Server that you are performing the send from is probably not defined there.

Hai rudy,

Can u please reframe your question? I 'm not able to understand what you are trying to say. As far as sending mail is concerned I 'm able to do that from my server. Its just the case when I set the Port number, it gives me the error. Otherwise, everything is working perfectly alright.

I set the Port# 25 manually, instead of server opting it by default. So in both case, the same port # is used. When you say security settings concerning 'forwarding', Where does this apply? I 'm new using Sql Server 2000 and what does The SQL Server that you are performing the send from is probably not defined there really means?

Well, unless you've got an SMTP server listening on a non-standard port, do you need your code to connect to anything other than port 25? I agree it's one of those things that shouldn't error out, but on the same token, SMTP is tcp/25. That's a given for normal communications.

Hai Brian,

I wish on setting the port #25 manually, the mailing should work. If there is anything related to security settings, please let me know so that i do that and make this work.
