17951 error with sql mail under mssql 6.5?

[DAvid Spaisman@advanix.net]

Hello:

We are running mssql 6.5, sp4 for an application.

WE followed the microsoft article: " how to use sql mail in Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 with Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange Server. WE also followed the suggestions outlined in document Q153159:" Troublshooting SQLMAIL with Microsoft Exchange Server.

After following all of the instuctions in both documents we get an error message of 17951:'Failed to start Microsoft Mail Session' when we click on sqlmail under server name in Enterprise Manager.

My network adminsitrator and I are both stumped why this doesn't work.

Has any one encountered this before? How do we resolve this?

Any information which can be provided will be greatly appreciated. THanks.

You should use domain account to start sql services, create mailbox for the account on exchange server, and create mail frofile for the account on sql server.
