Hi Jack,
Thanks. I agree it’s not a useful error. Could you send me a screenshot of your email step definition?
Paul
Hi Jack,
Is it possible the “to” address is an invalid email address? That’s the only way I’ve been able to reproduce this bug so far.
Paul
Weird. Our Exchange server supports multiple domains, but sending to one of them fails. I have all the email addresses on the one domain now, and it works.
We encounter this error on and off. First deployment it fails, retry and it works. Same e-mail list. Only the above mentioned exceptions seems to hit the event log. Any news about this bug?
Worked for me
