I have a SAS job which emails a report to a number of internal e-mail addresses which has been running succesfully, but now I also need to send the report to an external email address which is causing problems.
I seem to able to send the report to reciepients where the address is of the type 'myemail@domain.com', but not if it is of type 'my.email@domain.com' - for this type of address I get a 'Message Status - undeliverable' message from my e-mail client saying
The message that you sent was undeliverable to the following:
my.mail.@whatever.com (501 5.5.4 Invalid Address)
i.e. it looks like the first character after the first '.' in the email address is being dropped, and an extra '.' is being added before the '@'.
I'm using SAS 9.1.3 SP4 with settings
EMAILAUTHPROTOCOL=NONE
EMAILHOST=LOCALHOST
EMAILID
EMAILPORT=
EMAILPW
EMAILDLG=NATIVE
EMAILSYS=MAPI
and using Groupwise 7.0 as email client.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Ben
