killing SQLmail

Our SQLMail stopped working, so I tried to stop and
restart the SQLMail using xp_stopmail and xp_startmail.
it stopped quickly, but when I ran xp_startmail, it
appeared to hang. I killed the process, now it's saying
that it's "Killed/Rollback". It's been like that for a
while now. Does anyone know a way to get rid of this?
Can this cause other headaches?
Rob,
Are you using Microsoft Exchange? Is the Exchange Server available? This
can happen when Exchange disappears, or you lose connectivity to it.

I'd question David Copperfield. ;-)
Oh, I can't wait for a more robust and independent mail platform in SQL
Server...

was doing it under wrong uder name, but that's not the case. I', logged in
to the server as the user that runs the SQLServer Agent service, and I can
open Outlook and get into the mailbox without any problems.

Can you send mail from Outlook, logged on as the SQLAgent account?

thread - sorry 'bout that.
I have verified that I can send emails from Outlook. Everything seems to be
fine - I log on as the user that runs the SQL agent which is the same as the
user of the mailbox. The strange thing is that it worked fine the other day
when I installed Outlook on a few SQL servers, but now it fails with the
same error message on all of them. I'm wondering if there's something stupid
that I'm missing when I fire the xp_sendmail command.
The command I'm trying with just for the test is:
Use Master
EXEC xp_sendmail 'spe@.MyDomainName.dk', ' Test'
Shoudn't this be enough just to send an email or am I missing something?
Regards
Steen
