| Hi,Database mail is configured on sql sever 2005 (9.0.5000). Profile and accounts are created and configured.When I try to send test message, message never delivered. Don't know where it stuck up. In database mail log there is error:MessageThe mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account x (2012-10-31xxx:xx:xx). Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Unable to relay).Any Help?Thanks |

| Well, to ask the obvious questions, is Database Mail configured to use an SMTP server? Is that server running an SMTP service? Can the two servers see each other (ping test)? |

| This is definitely an issue on the SMTP server - either relay is disabled, or your server has not been added to the white list of allowable servers. |

| As all users suggested that this could be an issue with your SMTP server. My view is also same. First make sure that the server is working properly. See this post for detail information: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323350?wa=wsignin1.0 |
