Answer 1

That would indicate DBMail was unable to access your SMTP server.

I would start here:

Answer 2

Hi saravana raj,

Are you already configured email account, profile, operator (if applicable) and changed SQL Server Agent Alert System tab?

are you using a relay server? ping it?

Answer 3

From SSMS connect to your SQL Server, expand Management, right click Database Mail and attempt to send a Test E-Mail.

Display SQL Server Agent Properties, click Alert System and ensure you've configured the Database Mail correctly.
