I have created a report were i have email addresses for users among other columns that i displaying in the report. Is there a way to send an email to the email addresses in the report.
 
What i am trying to do is send an email through a scheduler , say every three months to the users displayed in the email output.

You can't use a report as a data source and send the report to the people on the report. It's a bit convoluted. The way to go about this is to use the same datasource for the report and query it separately to get the emails. Thus, whatever datasource is providing the emails to your report can also provide those  emails to the scheduling app. For this you'll need to write a .NET or Java app to send out the reports, or buy a third-party app that can be found via Google search.
