Email sent half of the time...

Hi! I have a big problem here...
I use SQL 7.0 SP4 and when the job for backup logs fails,
it send an email, as specified in the job, but only 1/2
times!!! The Net send message is sent correctly, but not
emails... Do someone know why or is experiencing this
problem?
Thanksnot sure what you mean half of the time...
first, make sure you have correctly setup email profile. Can you send a
test message via email?

time I mean this:
I go to the Enterprise Managers, display the list of all
jobs in my SQL server. Right-click on a job and
choose "View Job History..."
The 5 most recent execution are failed. All executions has
sent NET SEND command. The first, third and fifth have
also sent an email notification. But not the second and
fourth!
Is it more clear?
Thanks

wizard and updated manually to set notification custom.
The first failure (and the others too) was due to a non
logged transactions (SELECT INTO). RIght now the problem
of failing is resolved, but the random problem of sending
email is not: "NOTE: Failed to notify 'teamSQLAdmin' via
email." was the reason of failed where no email was sent.
This job occurs every hours.
All emails marked as sent have been received normall in
the inbox.

Are you using MS Exchange Server? Perhaps there are exchange server outages
periodically? Could you check with your exchange server admin team?

mail server is dedicated on another server on the domain.
No outages are known for the mail server...
What this could involved?
