Summary

Report Commander requires an SMTP server to e-mail reports. If you have a GMail account, Report Commander can send mail through the GMail SMTP server, but must be configured to use a secure e-mail connection.

Configuration

When using the Command Line Builder to create your command line, set the mail server to "smtp.gmail.com". Enter your GMail  address and password in the Authentication section, and be sure to check the "Use TLS (SSL) connection".

If you are creating the command line manually, be sure to include the "-emusetls" option on the Report Commander command line.

When specifying your user ID ("-emuserid" option on the command line, or in the Command Line Builder) you must use specify a valid GMail login, including the domain name. For example, if you are using a basic gmail account, you would use "-emuserid:[email protected]". If you are using Google Apps to host your domain e-mail for "example.com", you would use "-emuserid:[email protected]".

More Information

If you do not set the TLS option for Report Commander, the e-mail send will fail with an error similar to the following:

Error: E-mail send failed: The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first.
