SSRS has stopped sending email

  • A server w/ SSRS installed on it has stopped sending email for the report subscriptions. It worked in the past.

    The SQL server is still sending out it's emails through the same server.

    I have double-checked the email settings in the Report Server Configuration.

    I have also deleted and re-entered those settings.

    But the emails still aren't being sent out, and I haven't been able to figure out why.

    Any ideas out there?

    Thanks,

  • SSRS uses CDO to enable the mail transport but if you check the rsreportserver.config file you will see the SMTP definition you may have to add values to it. CDO makes sending the mail easy but it is very old technology that is depreciated by the Asp.net team in 2005. So make sure you are using Exchange as your SMTP service and enter the relevant information in your config file.
