[henin]

Hi everyone,
using sp_send_dbmail , for the @recipients parameter i tried a query as follows:

DECLARE @mailist VARCHAR(2000)
SET @mailist=
'
select email 
from 
server.db.dbo.table
where
lastname=' + '''' + 'aaa' + ''''

exec msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail 
@profile_name='my_profile',
@recipients=@mailist,
@...

i didnt get any error message but the mails didnt arrive...
any idea why ?
thanks

What value gets put into the variable? Is it a legit address? What's in the Database Mail log?
