SAS Email Functionality Outlook

[pervamatt]

Hello,

I have an Outlook account where I have access to 2 email accounts, my personal account and a business account. I am using the code below to try and send from the business account, but no matter what the email always comes from my personal account.

Is there a setting or something I am missing? 

In this code below, the inventory_planning emailid is the business account, and mperva is my personal. 

OPTIONS EMAILSYS=MAPI EMAILID = 'inventory_planning';
FILENAME MAILBOX EMAIL;

DATA _NULL_;
FILE MAILBOX TO= 'mperva@xxx.com'
SUBJECT = 'TEST';
PUT 'HI,';
PUT 'HOW ARE YOU TODAY?';
PUT 'HERE IS YOUR FILE';
RUN;

Hi,

Try this

Filename outbox clear;
filename outbox email FROM="abc@xyz.com" ;
data _null_;
file outbox
to=("xyz@abc.com")
subject ="Hello";
PUT "Thanks";
PUT "Kiran";
run;

Filename outbox clear;

No luck. It still came from the personal account.

Check your email host by running the below code. Probably you need to change that to your work host.

proc options group=email;
run;

Here's the result, not sure how to interpret:

12 proc options group=email;
13 run;

Change your host to business site.

options emailsys=smtp emailhost=your.smtpemail.server.com emailport=25;

emailhost is SMTP server specific to your site. Check with your email admin to get the correct SMTP email server name and port 25 is common but check with admin to verify.

OK. Let me reach out them and see if I can get the server name.

Hello Suryakiran,

Do you know how I can permanently change my EMAILACKWAIT system option?  By default it is set to 30 seconds but I believe I might need more time.  I am currently receiving an error that the email was able to send due to the connection to my mail server being interrupted.  Thank you.

Check SAS Documentation on this here.

I actually came across this documentation but this looks like I would have to use this in code.  Is there any way to make this at a higher level?

[SuryaKiran]

Look for that in your configuration file and update there. 

Note: If this is a new issue, why don't you open a new track. You may get responses from other out there or avoids miss leading the actual post for future reference.

I was actually trying to avoid opening a SAS Tech support ticket.  I came across this track and figured you could help.  I will open ticket to figure out what config file I need to make the change.  Thank you.
