ChiChuan,

Unfortunately, the SMTP mailer from Web Reports does not support a sender requiring authentication.

I think there are a few options:

  1. Find and install an SMTP mailer locally on the Web Reports server. It will not require any authentication.

  2. Find an alternate SMTP server that does not require authentication. :slight_smile:

  3. Write a custom program that will handle the authentication. This is then called from the “Customized Executable” option from the “Create Scheduled Activity” page in Web Reports. You pass the reports to this custom exec as a parameter. When I did this in the past, I use an .ini file to configure the mail server parameters such as SMTPServer, SMTPServerPort, UserName, Password, FromEmail and FromDisplayEmail.

Yes, as an “Enterprise Solution”, a web reports that does not allow for SMTP authentication should be near the top of the TEM Product Manager’s list in my opinion.
