Hi,

I have been running some scripts in “toad for sql” since more than one year. And I have an email activity in these scripts which notifies me if any error occurs while running the script. Lately it was observed that I do not receive notification email even if the script fails.

I tried to check this manually and I came across this error - "“The server rejected the specified sender email address. The server responded: 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated”

From the message it seems like the server settings have been changed and the sender is not configured to send emails through the server. I had contacted our helpdesk and waiting for their reply.

Any information on this would be very useful.

Many Thanks in Advance,  
Dinesh

I suppose we have to wait your helpdesk’s reply. It seems to me that this is no Toad issue if your server settings have been changed.

regards,

Hi Dinesh,

Just to make sure we’re talking about the same – we are talking  
about Automation scripts, right? If so - did you try to change authentication  
method in the Error Email Server section of the Description activity? Did it  
help?

Thanks,

Igor.
