I am trying to use a pop3 and smtp acccount, with the sql server agents job which does only sendmail every 5 minutes.

i was using an accout which belongs to the msexchange server and it works fine. with out any problem.

Now i tried to use the pop3 and smtp account which and with that it does'nt work at all. this is a third party pop3 account. i tested it through ms outlookk it sends and recieves the emails fine without any problem, but via SQL server agents job it seems to be failing. and also i went to the application log viewer i do see a warning error message created saying the sendmail job failed..

Are there any issues using the pop3 acct. with a sql server send mail profile.

Please Help.

Thank you very much for the incormation.

It works only on Outlook 2000. In Outlook when configure maill acount then choise Exchange with internet mail. I didn't remember exat caption but it is in Outlook configuration wizard in first window wil be three choises( posibly: Exchange, Exchange with internet mail, internet mail) then you need choise choise middlest. I' found it expermentaly.

Not sure if that's an option, if this is in a dts, you can have an ActiveX that sends email using the smto server, bipassing sqlmail, talking directly with the smtp server. I'll find the code and post it to you.

Thanks!
