We have reports scheduled in SSRS. The reports are saved as an excel file and sent via e-mail (Exchange). Today on of the reports will not send. The message is:

The e-mail address of one or more recipients is not valid.

I looked in the log files, and the message is the same. It does not indicate what e-mail address it doesn't like. SSRS should send the e-mails to the valid addresses, but instead the entire subscription fails. How can I find the e-mail address that is the problem?

is it data driven subscription? if yes check for field value which gives email addresses for failed report. check these against exchange server to see any invalid ones. The error may even be due to value getting truncated because of length restriction.

I do not see this setting. I have a data driven subscription. I cannot see which emails were bad in the log. Knowing this setting in the data driven subscription would help immensely

There's a field which you map for email addresses in data driven subscription properties. This is table field where you store as value the receipient list for email. My suggestion was to check the field value and compare it to your exechange server which will have master entries for emails. Then it might turn out that there might some obsolete emails (people who left) or some typos which might cause subscriptions to error out
