Sorry for the poor title of this post. Unfortunately, this system doesn't allow changes/edits to titles once posted.
It sounds like my customer ran into an issue with SMTP Auth relating to Aatrix and printing some letters to employees who receive W2 forms electronically. This is what he shared that caused it to begin working. His standard Sage Paperless Office sent invoices, quotes, and orders through email without any problem. He also said that the Sage paperless form emails used the same email return address.
Aatrix uses the same underlying email/pdf engine but a separate configuration for the email connection.
Note: I am not sure why IT would have had to enable SMTP AUTH for the SAME EMAIL that the customer was using for their standard Sage 100 Paperless Electronic form delivery. Perhaps there was another step that IT took which resolved the issue that they did not include in this email.
This is the email he sent me specific to the Aatrix email issue:
Hi Wayne,
I just sent the access letter emails. Here is the change our IT folks made below. I think you already warned about this issue.
Office 365 requires the use of Modern Authentication (pop up windows for user name and password). Microsoft has disabled Basic Authentication as of January of this year for security. Be default they disable SMTP AUTH sending. I have enabled SMTP AUTH for your email address. Can you test and see if this resolves your issue?

Is this running through Sage's connection? I last looked at this a couple years ago and it required more effort than I was willing to expend. At the time, I was under the impression that it was actually using Outlook. I am interest to learn how this actually works.
