Hi Fred,
besides the configuration issue of smtp there are 2 more things that sometimes cause problems:
1. As of Basis 610 you need an explicit commit work to get mails sent out (at least if you use the business communication services where I guess your FM is internaly using those and maybe even performing the commit work).
2. The sender of the mail (i.e. the user that executes the report) needs to have a e-mail adress assigned to his user as otherwise the system cannot add a reply to adress.
Best Regards
Michael
