XP_SENDMAIL does not work

This is a very strange issue. I have the following 3 steps jobs succesfuly running on 2 servers and not in another one ...

Job:
1st step:
truncate table MyTable;

2nd step:
insert into MyTable
select top 25 *
from MyTable2
order by insert_dm desc;

3rd step:
EXEC xp_sendmail @recipients = 'xxx.xxx@x.com',
@query = 'SELECT * FROM table.dbo.MyTable',
@subject = 'Whatever',
@message = 'Whatever',
@attach_results = 'TRUE', @width = 250

When job reachs third step ... it just failed ...

Facts:
-SQL Service Pack SP3a
-Windows 2003 (Cluster node) with SP1 and hotfixes
-Maintenance plans are able to send messages
-No Exchange issue.
-No network connectivity issue.

Any ideas? I already install/reinstall Outlook 2003 SP2 with no success. It ran beautiful in the other servers, similar configuration and using the same MS-Exchange server.

What does your job history say? I think you need to add EXEC master..xp_sendmail .......

The job history says:
The job failed. The Job was invoked by Schedule 19 (xxx). The last step to run was step 3 (Read xxx table and send email).

What does it say for step 3 when you check "Show step details"?

step details? there is no such options ... i think ... anyway, i found a workaround using xp_smtp_sendmail, but the problem now is that i'm not able to send attachements ...

Here is my final step:

declare @rc int
exec @rc = master.dbo.xp_smtp_sendmail
@FROM = N'MyEmail@MyDomain.com',
@FROM_NAME = N'Joe Mailman',
@TO = N'mymail@mail.com',
@priority = N'HIGH',
@subject = N'Hello SQL Server SMTP Mail',
@type = N'text/plain',
@attachment = N'c:\prueba.txt',

@server = N'smtp.server.test'
select RC = @rc

Why it does not work? if i use no attachs i recieved the message ...

EXEC xp_sendmail @recipients = 'xxx.xxx@x.com',
@query = 'SELECT * FROM table.dbo.MyTable',
@subject = 'Whatever',
@message = 'Whatever',
@attach_results = 'TRUE', @width = 250

Run the above in Query Analyzer on the database server that is not working. Post the error message here.

Hello Tara.

Here's the error:

Server: Msg 18025, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
xp_sendmail: failed with mail error 0x80040111

Q18: Why am I getting mail error 0x80040111 (or similar hex number) when I try to send mail?

A18: The first step in resolving this problem is to determine the error message associated with the hex error number. MAPI does not convert error numbers to strings, so SQL Mail only returns the error number. For additional information on how to interpret the MAPI return code, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
238119 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/238119/EN-US/) INFO: List of Extended MAPI Numeric Result Codes
When you look up the hex value 0x80040111, you see that this corresponds to the MAPI error message MAPI_E_LOGON_FAILED, which indicates that SQL Mail failed to logon with the mail profile provided. You can then take corrective action based on the error message.

Thanks Tara ...

But it does not worked for me. I already checked. I have no Outlook or Exchange issue. In fact, i can recieve all Maintenance Plan alerts via email. No logon issues either with the SQL agent account. My problem is with the xp_sendmail store procedure.

I guess you missed the point. The article that I posted has to do with xp_sendmail. Google your error (xp_sendmail: failed with mail error 0x80040111) and try everything that the links suggest.

The fact that you can get SQL Agent alerts only means that the Agent Email profile is setup correctly. They are configured separately, and may or may not use the same profile. If the logon account for the SQL Server service is not the same as the logon account for SQL Agent, they can't use the same profile.

The SQL Mail profile is setup in Enterprise Manager under Support Services, SQL Mail. The mail profile for the SQL Agent is setup under the SQL Server Agent, Properties, General tab.

also test your email by commenting out the attachement parameters. If it sends email, check how the job is running and make sure it has rights to do the select on the table.
