Details

The EMAILSYS system option specifies which e-mail protocol to use for sending electronic mail from within SAS. Specifying SMTP supports sending e-mail attachments on UNIX, but might require changing the values of the EMAILHOST= and EMAILPORT=, depending on your site configuration.

You can set the EMAILSYS option at any time in your SAS session.
