[OBIEE11g] Agents for seeding cache

Question

Hello,
I would like to set an agent for seeding cache for several users.
So I set a request and an agent for this.
In the agent configuration, Destinations tab, I uncheck everything and I check only "Oracle BI Server Cache (For seeding cache)".
But I get errors.
1) if I save the agent and then open it for edit, again, I can see that the "Devices" option is selected, even though I made sure it was not;
2) the agent runs with errors, because it cannot connect to the SMTP server.
([nQSError: 75027] Failed to open connection to SMTP Server)
This sounds strange to me, because:
1) I did not set it to send any email, just to seed cache only;
2) I have properly configured the SMTP server, anyway, and it should work; at least it does work outside OBIEE.
I have tried many different times and configurations, to make sure I do not make any errors when configuring the agent. But it does not work as expected.
Do you have any advice?

Anybody resolve this issue? We just upgraded to 11.1.1.6.6 and I have to have it send me emails or else it won't seed the cache. I don't like getting 84 emails a day!
