Email Subscription Problem

Regards,
When a non administrative person sets up an email subscription to a
particular report, the "to" field defaults to their login name rather than
their email address.
So for jsmith@.microsoft.com, the "to" field defaults to "jsmith" and is read
only so it can't be changed.
Once the subscription is made, the email goes to jsmith, which doesn't
resolve to anything causing a bounce-back.
Is there a setting to tell Reporting Services to use the AD email address
for users if available? Or is there a way to default the domain for missing
domains?
There has to be a setting in one of the config files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Benjamin PierceIf all you need is to add host name to the email, there is a DefaultHostName
element in the RSReportServer config file. This will add the host name to
any email address that does not have one.
If you want all users to be able to edit the TO line set the
SendEmailToUserAlias element to false and then every user will have a blank
TO line that they can set.

Adding a DefaultHostName worked like a charm. VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
