SAS supports three types of protocols: MAPI (such as Microsoft Exchange), Vendor Independent Mail (VIM--such as Lotus Notes) and SMTP. The default value is MAPI. If you specify SMTP, you must also specify and configure the EMAILHOST and EMAILPORT system options. SMTP is available only when you are sending e-mail programmatically. SMTP is not available using either your e-mail program native dialog box or the SAS e-mail dialog box.

smtp is a lot easier to deal with but some sys admins do not allow smtp from their servers (not as secure I guess)

Can anyone suggest the code to be used to configure SAS (9.2) to send

email (Lotus Notes 8.5) automatically.



I know we need to change the SASV9.cfg file but I couldn't make it to work.



Thanks in advance everyone.
