xp_startmail runs forever??

Post by Sam » Tue, 29 Aug 2000 04:00:00



I am trying to set up SQLMail using Outlook 2000 with Yahoo smtp/pop
mail server.
I create a NT mail profile and outlook2000 can receive and send mail
using this profile.
Then I log in the MSSQLServer and SQLAgentMail using the Administrator
account.
When I click "Test" from the Mail session, the 'Task manager
Application' indicates the SQL Server 7 "no response" and then hangs.
When I tried to use Query Analyzer to exec master.dbo.xp_startmail it
runs forever with no result.

The xp_startmail at master point to the path: sqlmap70.dll

I am currently using NT Server 4.0 SP6,  SQL Server 7.0 SP2, Outlook2000

The mapi32.dll file is 128KB, version 1.0.2536.0 at both winnt\system32
and program files

Thanks for your help!
