Hi Guys,
I have an SSRS 2016 Reporting Services Instance, which needs to be able to send mails. Unfortunately, for some reason, this is not happening, so I've started troubleshooting and quikly noticed that the smtp server, used in the setup is not operating on the
default port (25), but on a custom port instead.
This means that when the E-Mail Settings are being configured, the smtp server needs to be entered in the format: smtp_server.company.com:587
Here is an example:
My question is: Would this work at all? Is the Reporting Services Configuration Manager able to obtain the port from the server name or does it use port 25 by default?
I kinda have the feeling that it just tries to contact the server on port 25 and is not able to obtain the port from the server name at all :(
One additional question: the user sender@company.com...Does it have to be allowed to send mails in some way or is this just a mail address, which is entered in he *From:" field?
Many thanks in advance!
