Separate return email address for each report?

JamesJ

As far as I can tell, there is only one email return address. Would it be possible to have a separate return address for each scheduled report (with the default being the one entered with the mail server info)?

The theoretical scenario is one machine running CD (so there's no possibility of reports scheduled on different systems stepping on each other) and there are reports from different departments, for example, scheduled. It would be nice if the return email address for the different reports could be someone in the appropriate department (for example).

This is not an issue here now. There's only one specific report that we plan on running with CD at this point. But if we eventually use CD for other reports, I could see it becoming an issue, so I thought I'd ask.

No guarantees here, but I will explore the option to see how I can include this.

Thanks once again. It looks like most of the changes in this version are things I brought up. I guess I've been keeping you busy. :-)

I notice from your new release description that you have to enter an email address for every report now. When I suggested separate email addresses, I didn't mean to make more work for everybody else. :-)

Thanks again for all the changes.

Yeah, it does create a little more work, but after I thought about it, the separate email from address would be handy for all the reports I manage since I tend to get a lot of calls concerning reports that I have scheduled but were created by coworkers. Now I can use their return addresses. So a little more work up front eases my pain down the road...a good trade off for me at least Very Happy

Nice to hear that one of my suggestions could actually be useful to you too. :-)
