Answer 1

I was having a problems getting SSRS 2017 to connect. I tried a dozen different suggestions and ended up with the following. I didn't need to setup the SMTP relay or SMTP service on the windows server.

Open Reporting Services Configuration Manager. Go to E-mail Settings >>>

• Sender Address: [user]@gmail.com (or your G-Suite domain)
• Current Delivery Method: Use SMTP server
• SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
• Authentication= "Username and password (basic)"
• Username: [user]@gmail.com (or your G-Suite domain)
• Password
• Confirm Password
• Use Secure Connection: Checked

Now go to the rsreportserver.config file. Mine was located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services\SSRS\ReportServer\rsreportserver.config

Find the and set to 587

Save rsreportserver.config
