Report subscription for email delivery in SSRS

Question

I have an SSRS report. I tried to create a subscription asking an email delivery of the report to my mail account, but it fails, giving this error message:

The email address of one or more recepients is not valid.

I have a Browser role.

Could anyone tell me the reason?

Answer 1

There are a couple of issues that could cause this:

Using an e-mail alias in combination with Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945601 )

The Report Server does not have permission to relay e-mail through the Exchange Server ( http://blogs.technet.com/jonathanalmquist/archive/2008/04/01/scheduled-reports-email-address-not-valid.aspx )

Answer 2

I had some trouble with this initially too. My problem was I was delimiting email addresses with commas when SSRS wants semicolons.
