I currently have a sql server 2008 SP3 CU 7 64 bit enterprise edition sql server running on windows 2003 64 bit SP2. Our db mail was not being sent since the externalmailqueue was disabled. Enabling the externalmailqueue fixed the issue for
now. We are planning on putting this hotfix on the server to see if that fixes the issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941105/en-us. However, until we are able to do so, I was thinking of writing some code to start the externalmailqueue if it is stopped for more than an hour.
However, I notice in sys.dm_broker_queue_monitors that the last_activated_time column is 9pm tonight even though it was activated earlier today. Is this a bug related to having to apply the hotfix? Is there some other way to achieve what I am trying
to do?
