Author email notifications from SQL
Darren C. Haby

2005-04-12, 11:25 am

Hello Everyone,
I am attempting to learn how to use the email facilities within SQL
server. I have MSSQL running on Win2K3 server with an Outlook 2003 mail
client. I set up a simple job which backs up my databases on a set
schedule. This part is working fine. What is not working is the email
notification when the job completes. What I have noticed is that if I stop
the SQL server agent, start outlook, hit send/receive, close outlook and
restart the agent, the mail that I was expecting finally arrives. What have
I missed or failed to do?

thanks in advance,
Darren
