HiI am trying to send an email from database mail and I keep getting this in my mail log:quote:
The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 6 (2013-05-08T11:38:16). Exception Message: Could not connect to mail server. (No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it xxx.xx.xx.xx:xx). )
Contacted support desk at my work and they gave me another server to use, but still get the same error. they said if you are trying to send as authenticated then turn that off as it's not needed but stil get error.My test email is trying to send to my own work email account via the work email server.My DB is on my local machine SQL Server 2005, and my local machine is on the work domainWhat else could be the problem?ThanksG |

the problem been identified it is the McAfee anti-virus. if you have similar on your PC got to:C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\McAfee\DesktopProtection\AccessProtectionlog.txtand look for a log entry like this:quote:
08/05/2013 11:38:16 Blocked by port blocking rule c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Binn\DatabaseMail90.exe Anti-virus Standard Protection:Prevent mass mailing worms from sending mail xxx.xx.xx.xx:xx

| This error message usually occur because the url to the mail server is incorrect, or there's no connectivity at all. |
