The ultimate goal would be to enable a database to be updated without the problems of connecting to a corporate network.So i have set up SQL mail and can use xp_sendmail, findnextmsg, readmail, deletemsil, startmail and stopmail with no problems. What i can't get the system to do is use SP_Processmail. If i try i get thisServer: Msg 18025, Level 16, State 1, Line 0xp_sendmail: failed with mail error 0x80004005Queries processed: 0.This only happens when there is an unread message in the inbox. Hi have a Windows 2000 server, running SQL2000 SP3a, MS Exchange and an Outlook 2003 client. I have searched through any reference i can find on the web, but nothing has solved the problem. Any chance that you can shed some light on this for me?Thanks in advanceJon " |

| Stupid question. How is SQL Mail going to receive the email without being connected to the corporate network????Don't depend on SQLMail for something like this. It's flaky and uses very old technology. If you're determined to go down this path, write a component to do this for you.MeanOldDBAderrickleggett@hotmail.comWhen life gives you a lemon, fire the DBA. |
