Database Mail Troubleshooting

  • I've setup database mail and pointed it to our mail server. I'm receiving a response back from the mail server that Database Mail does not recognize. Has anyone seen this one before?!

    I have window services that reside on the database server that are successfully sending mail to the same mail server(using SMTP). Hence,I know that I can connect to the mail server from my database server.

    Here is the error I'm seeing when I view the Log File in SQL Server:

    Message

    The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 1 (2009-09-23T09:34:21). Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Syntax error, command unrecognized. The server response was: Gordano Messaging Suite POP3 server ready).

    )

    Please help!

    Thank you.

  • Are you trying to pass the mail using SMTP (correct port 25) via the POP3 port ( 110 ) ?

    "Keep Trying"

  • If you have setup database mail, is this the error you receive, when you right click on database mail and send test email.

  • Doh! I had port 110. That was it. I had POP3 on the brain. Thank you!
