EMAIL HOST CHANGED FOR SMTP

gajaramireddy — Tue, 31 Dec 2019 17:47:35 GMT

Hi All,

Our Company's email host has changed and I am not sure where to change it so that the SAS user's can send the attachments(reports) to the email group. Currently it is throwing error when we do the "ERROR: Email host ***** not found."

Can you please tell me where do I have to change it? In the configuration file? on which server (Web or App or Meta)?

Thank you,
Ram

Hi:
This is something that you need to ask your SAS Administrator about. There are options that need to be part of the instructions when SAS first starts up. Typically, only an administrator will have the permissions to change these configuration options.

The EMAILHOST option is what needs to change: https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=lesysoptsref&docsetTarget=p1v9dr6zep9p9en1prhl6tdy3igx.htm&docsetVersion=9.4&locale=en

As documented it can be specified in several different places, but can be easily tested just in an OPTIONS statement. If you want to change it in a SAS server installation then adding it the SAS App server USERMODS CONFIG file is a good option. However you would need to investigate where it is currently specified first.

Hi,

I recently started taking admin responsibilities. I do have permissions. But I am stuck on where to change. My guess was that the email host got changed and I do not think it is necessarily a SAS issue (SMTP issue).

I did test all the combinations in my options statement, It is now giving me "WARNING: Email: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay". "WARNING: Bad e-mail address:". "WARNING: No email addresses specified.". I have asked my outlook admin team to take a look.
