The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Checking status of sent mail in SQL Server 2005 Database Mail

Asked by tfountain in SQL Server 2005

Tags:

I am implementing Sql Server Database Mail.  I have this completely setup and working.  Where I am having difficulty is try to checking the status of submitted messages in the same SP that calls sp_send_db mail.(please see attached code)
i.e. - I call a SP to send a mail message.  In that SP I execute the sp_send_dbmail.  In the same I would like to return (via an output parameter) if the mail was successfully sent.  So I make a call to msdb.dbo.sysmail_event_log to check for errors.
The issue is that when I make this call in the same SP as sp_send_dbmail, there is never any logged errors even if the email did indeed fail. (I can query the msdb.dbo.sysmail_event_log after word to prove this).
Is there a way to do this?
