I had a similar problem and was advised not to use xp_sendmail. I
don't understand how sql server communicates with email. I don't know
the difference between using xp_sendmail (does not work) and sending a
notification email in the job scheduler (which does work)!

There's an alternative you could try which is available from

hi stephen,

i tried with xp_smtp_sendmail but still getting the error ....
as given into site i register the xp_smtp_sendmail store procedure and
the assign the grant permission to that store procedure then writing
the following query

declare @rc int
exec @rc = master.dbo.xp_smtp_sendmail
@FROM = N'*******@MyDomain.com',
@TO = N'********@HisDomain.com'
select RC = @rc
go

in place of this 'M******@MyDomain.com' i am writing the real mail id
(first one)
in place of this 'M*******@HisDomain.com' i am writing the real mail
id (second one)

but after executing these query getting the following error msg..

Error: connecting to server smarthost

can u plz tell me is there any sql server id we need to right into
above query (like ad***@sqlserver.com)

give me the proper solution

What is says. That is a message from the SMTP server. SMTP requires
that you terminate your message with a dot on a single line. I have
never user xp_smtp_sendmail, but apparently it does not add this dot
for you.

But you should change the SMTP server to the one that you normally use.
SMTP servers do normally not require authentication; anyone connect.
However, an SMTP server is set up to server a set of IP addresses, and if
neither the sender nor the receiver is in that set, the SMTP server should
refused to transmit the mail.

(Note :- What is this MAPI and by where it is references in sql
server )

MAPI is the mail protocol used by Outlook and other Microsoft mail
program, and it does not have much to do with SQL Server as such.
