DBmail profile name is not valid

I have been trying all week to get my new sql 2005 server to send out auto emails. The test emails come through fine but the EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail do not. Earlier they said that the email was queuing but no email was sent to my inbox. Now it seems I have regressed.
I am seeing this error 'Procedure sysmail_verify_profile_sp, Line 42
profile name is not valid'
I have set up two profiles and 3 accounts.
I have run
SELECT [profile_id]
,[name]
,[description]
,[last_mod_datetime]
,[last_mod_user]
FROM [msdb].[dbo].[sysmail_profile]
and copied/pasted the profile name into my stored procedure. I have rebuilt my profiles, and both are members of the 'Data base mail user role'. I am stumped and frustrated. Hopefully some one has some suggestions. Thanks in advance, I really appreciate all the help I get from this forum.

Cheers
 
You don't show the results from your query or an example of the way you are sending mail....but we have seen an issue with the profile being (for example):

My SS2005 Mail Profile.

And then users trying to send using My SS2005 Mail. It won't work, you need that 'Profile' at the end as it is part of the profile name.

Thanks SQLBill.

Since I copied and pasted the profile name out of the result pane of the sql query that listed my profiles I don't think the name is wrong, am I missing something?

Here is the first sql query:


SELECT [profile_id]
,[name]
,[description]
,[last_mod_datetime]
,[last_mod_user]

FROM [msdb].[dbo].[sysmail_profile]

Results:

1 ase.reports@xxx.com Account for emailing daily reps 2010-06-30 16:57:41.183 CORP\caol
4 SAS Reports Testing 2010-06-30 16:57:41.200 CORP\caol


And here is the query used to generate the email:

Hopefully this will help you help me.

After viewing another post here

I changed the exec line to this:
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail @subject = 'NACG - 5500/797 loads', @body = @body, @profile_name = 'ase.reports@xxx.com', @recipients = 'xxx@xxx.com', @copy_recipients ='xxx@xxx.com'

Now it says the mail is queued. And it came through my in box. Great Success!

Thanks SQLBill.

But, since I had set the @params in my sql script, why do I have to restate them in the exec line?

Cheers
 
I think it is because it is looking for something to equal those params. Since the 'set up' for sp_send_dbmail includes @<param> it doesn't automatically know to fill in those params with what you have declared and set. You would have to do it something like:

sp_send_dbmail @body = @body, @profile = @profile, @recipients = @recipients, @copy_recipients = @copy_recipients

I believe that would work.
