-> Exchange Online [announced](https://https:/techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/exchange/exchange-online-to-retire-basic-auth-for-client-submission-smtp-auth/4114750) the retirement of Basic Auth with Client Submission (SMTP AUTH) in September 2025. The Exchange Online team recommends three alternatives for customers who must continue to use Basic auth with Client Submission (SMTP AUTH): [High Volume Emails for Microsoft 365](/Exchange/mail-flow-best-practices/high-volume-mails-m365), [Azure Communication Services Email](/azure/communication-services/concepts/email/email-smtp-overview), or [Anonymous relay on Exchange servers](/exchange/mail-flow/connectors/allow-anonymous-relay?view=exchserver-2019). Customers currently using Exchange Online Basic Auth with Client Submission (SMTP AUTH) for email distribution through SSRS are advised to start switching to one of these alternatives based on their specific requirements.

 You can distribute reports through email by using the SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) email delivery extension. Depending on the email subscription configuration, distribution might include a notification, link, attachment, or embedded report. The email delivery extension works with your existing mail server technology that uses a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server or forwarder. The report server connects to an SMTP server through Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) libraries (`cdosys.dll`) provided by the operating system.
