[264] An attempt was made to send an email when no email session has been established
Hello,
I am running SQL Server 2005 SP3 and I have a problem with receiving email notifications.
I setup a Database profile and when I send out a test email then I receive it. I then enabled the mail profile in the SQL Server Agent properties but in there the test button is greyed out.
After all of this I created an SQL JOB and configured to receive notifications if the jb fails. Well the emails are never being send out. When I check the SQL Server Agent logs then I find the errors below with time stamps when the email should be send out:
==========================
Date 4/25/2010 8:03:24 PM
Log SQL Agent (Current - 4/25/2010 8:03:00 PM)
Message
[264] An attempt was made to send an email when no email session has been established
==========================
I looked here in the forum but I was not able to find any useable solution.
Can anyone help please?
Thank you

It should - Is it giving any errors? Can you do a try catch exception around the send mail command and insert the exception_message into an exception table? that way we can see what issue is occurring - when you do it manually.
maybe:
CREATE EXCPTABLE.......;
BEGIN TRY
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail @profile_name = 'aaa', '@recipients = 'someone@co.com', @body = 'Job did not complete', @subject = 'Job did not complete'
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
INSERT INTO [EXCPTABLE]
(Msg)
VALUES(ERROR_MESSAGE())
END CATCH

END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
INSERT INTO [EXCPTABLE]
(Msg)
VALUES(ERROR_MESSAGE())
END CATCH
If the emails are coming from SQL SErver Agent (i.e. notifications per job status) , then it won't unless you force the job to run through SQL SErver agent.

I just ran my job again and made it fail in intention and everything worked. The email notification was send out.
The fix is a little odd but it worked. So thank you very much.

Worked! Thank you.

I just followed your procedure. Now when I execute the job manually and it fails it should send me a notification as well right?
