SSRS Subsription EMail Goes Nowhere

Question

I am trying to get email to work with SSRS subscriptions.  The reports and logs suggest the email was successfully sent.  I am running Windows XP and using IIS.  I think the problem is toi do with how IIS is set up.  I have created an Alias Domain using the SMTP address for my ISP - SMPT.Tiscali.co.uk.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this to work and troubleshoot IIS to find out what is happening?

Patrick,

[e-mail]. is not a valid address for an SMTP server.

the likely address is smtp.tiscali.co.uk

Thanks for the tip.    It turns out the SMTP address I used was correct.      I mis-spelt it.      So I am back to square 1 but I have found these links which might help.   A large part of the problem is I don't jhave much of a clue about how to configure IIS.

This refers to setting up SMTP Mail on Windows Server 2003 which is similar to XP thta I am using:

I also found this but it refers to IIS 4.0, not IIS 5.1 which I am using.    Also the instructions are a bit sparse:

Hi Patrick,

It seems you have issues on how to configure SMTP server on Microsoft Windows XP.

If so, the question should be related to Mail Server. I would suggest you re-post the question in Exchange Forum to get more help.
