What follows can be grouped into three steps: Installing the SMTP server, configuring the SMTP server, and configuring SSRS to use the local server.
Installing the SMTP Server
Open Server Manager, click on Local Server (on the left) and then Manage > Add Roles and Features
Click Next
Click Next
Click Next
Click Next
Select the SMTP Server and click Next
You'll get the confirm form below. Click Add Features.
Note that IIS 6 is also being installed, that's where we'll manage this
I clicked restart... but it didn't. Click Install
Part Two: Configuring the SMTP Server
Back in the Server Manager, click on the IIS 6 Manager
Expand to the SMTP Server node, right click, select properties
Click on the access tab
We're going into all three buttons: Authentication, Connection, Relay
Leave this Anonymous
This is the Connection window, and here is the magic. Configure as shown below. This will ensure that only this machine can send mail.
Click OK to the confirmation.
This is the Relay Restriction window
Cick OK to the confirmation
You might want to put an address in the 'Non-Delivery' text box below.
Take the defaults, click on Outbound Security
Confirm that it says anonymous, click OK
OK, all done there.
Go into the Services applet and set the SMTP service to start automatically.
Your SSRS report must not require a password, the data source must have a username/password stored in it. I created a report called EmailTest that had a stored password. Dropdown the menu, choose manage
On the Subscriptions tab, choose New Subscription
Fill this in as required, and you're done.
