Using the Send Mail Task in SSIS with Microsoft Exchange server as your SMTP

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

I have already done a similar post on this but the basics are:

  • turn on delay validation so you don’t have to enter an email address in the *to* field -> you can use expressions to read it from a table or recordset etc
  • configure your exchange server like so
  • Launch your Exchange System Manager
  • Navigate to your server -> Administrative Groups -> Admin Group -> Server Name -> Protocols -> SMTP
  • Right click on the “Default SMTP Virtual Server”
  • Click the access tab
  • Press the Relay button and add the IP of the machine that wishes to use this as their SMTP server.
  • Fun times.
