Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3068.00 (X64)

I have a job that's failing with the following error: "[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "exec usp_MySproc" failed with the following error: "Mail not queued. Database Mail is stopped. Use sysmail_start_sp to start Database Mail.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly. "

My question is about the fact that db mail is stopped.  How does that happen?  I have db mail enabled, using the surface area configuration tool, and mail is properly configured inside of SQL - I know this because I can send a mail message.  So how does db mail get stopped?  I can assure you that no one is issuing sysmail_stop_sp.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Andre

Did you check the SQL Error Logs? There must be some records in the logs about this issue and I think your best bet to understand the problem would be checking out the SQL Error Logs.

And also Database Mail Logs of course, there could be some track there as well. (Right click on the Database Mail in SSMS and click View Database Mail Log)

I checked the logs and I see a bunch of "DatabaseMail process is started" and then "DatabaseMail process is shutting down".  But nothing that indicates an error.  Ever since I used sysmail_start_sp DB Mail has stayed up.  What concerns me is that I had to even do this after I bounced the box, especially since DB Mail is enabled and configured properly.

Hmm, then there must be some process which triggers this problem.

As there is no an error message or some more specific clue to go after, I don't know what to say...

Also, I'd like to share with you the following link where you can have more information about the function of this sp:
