Rerun ReportCaster jobs when SMTP server fails
Hi,
Is there a way ReportCaster can rerun the job if the job fails because of SMTP server down? If SMTP server is down, the job runs at that time in ReportCaster won't distribute and also we wont get any mail by saying the error occured. Anybody no the way to get around this issue. Is there any setting in ReportCaster will put those jobs in queue if SMTP server is down?

Please let me know,

Thanks

Interesting issue
I hope someone comes with the answer, but it's not just a matter of rescheduling.
If a jobs runtime also is important for the results (day or week report) running it on an other day will give an other result.

The only setting I am aware of is to put the error logs to go through a different mail server, so at least you know there is a problem. You do that in the Report Caster configuration settings.
