SQL2005 database mailer problem
Hi there,
Got a 2005 SP1 SQL box, with database mailer giving problems. In the sysmail_event_log is has
1) Exception Information =================== Exception Type: System.NullReferenceException Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Data: System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal TargetSite: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlIMail.Server.Objects.Account GetAccount(Int32) HelpLink: NULL Source: DatabaseMailEngine StackTrace Information =================== at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlIMail.Server.DataAccess.DataAccessAdapter.GetAccount(Int32 accountID) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlIMail.Server.DataAccess.SessionManager.GetAccount(Int32 accountID) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlIMail.Server.Controller.CommandFactory.CreateSendMailCommand(DBSession dbSession) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlIMail.Server.Controller.CommandFactory.CreateCommand(DBSession dbSession) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlIMail.Server.Controller.CommandRunner.Run(DBSession db) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlIMail.IMailProcess.ThreadCallBack.MailOperation(Object o)
Error: 14667, Severity: 16, State: 1. (Params:). The error is printed in terse mode because there was error during formatting. Tracing, ETW, notifications etc are skipped.
whenever it is trying to send an email. The only way to get this to start sending mail is to run the databasemail90.exe file, so the profiles security etc seem ok. It's just that after the SQL box gets restarted
that it gives all these problems and then it needs some tinkering before it starts to work again.
So anybody got any ideas or tops on what can be done to help sort this out?
Thanks!
