I would like to use the subscription system to email a report to an external email address outside our company, however I get the error message "The e-mail address of one or more recipients is not valid."

I'm telling the report server to use our dedicated exchange server rather than the basic smtp service.

Is there anyway to configure the report server for external mail

Thanks

Dan

How are you passing the emails. User names or names for that matter cannot be transformed in exchange server without being in the address list. Meaning, internally you can do: jdoe for (jdoe@blah.com) and it works but how are you passing external emails to the app. The subscription service, should allow you to type in the email addresses you would like the report to go to.

Basically when I setup reporting services the installer asked for the name of an email server so I put in wslserver1 as that is the name of our exchange 5.5 server.

Now I can send report subscriptions internally fine providing I type the full address in e.g Dan.H@there.com, if I type the alias in Dan H it will fail to send.

However I can't send reports to external addresses even if I type the full address in.
