Emailing

Hi,

I'm getting the following message when trying to run the email code through E-Guide.

filename mymail email 'mrmail@mail.com' subject='test sas server email';

data _null_;
file mymail;
put 'Hi';
put 'This message is sent from the SAS Server...';
run;

NOTE: The file MYMAIL is:
E-Mail Access Device

ERROR: Unable to connect to SMTP server.
ERROR: connect call failed, system error is '10053 - WSAECONNABORTED'.

I've specified the following parameters in SASV9.CFG file
-emailsys SMTP
-emailhost mymail.server.com
-emailport 25
-emailauthprotocol=none

I've been able to manually send an email out from the SAS server by telnetting onto my mailserver on port 25.

Any ideas appreciated!

Rob

Hi!
I always use TO= and FROM= when I send email. That's probably NOT your issue. It may be that contacting Tech Support is your best bet to resolve this issue.
Meanwhile, here's some reading you can do that may help, too.

Cythia,

Thanks for the response. We managed to get emailing to work. We found that our mail administrator had blocked our new server from using it as a relay host. Anyhow, that's been resolved now.

Thanks!
