+> Exchange Online [announced](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) scheduled for 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). Customers currently using Exchange Online Basic Auth with Client Submission (SMTP AUTH) for email distribution through SSRS or PBIRS 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.
 
 The report server email delivery extension isn't configured by default. You use the Report Server Configuration Manager to minimally configure the extension. To set advanced properties, edit the `RSReportServer.config` file. If you can't configure the report server to use this extension, you can deliver reports to a shared folder instead. For more information, see [File share delivery in Reporting Services](../../reporting-services/subscriptions/file-share-delivery-in-reporting-services.md).
