Component: MTA

Resolution

This issue has been addressed with the 10.8.0 release.

For SMG releases previous to version 10.8.0, this is a false error message being generated by the mail server and may be safely ignored. The stack trace does not indicate any issues with mail processing and will be removed in the SMG 10.7.6 release.
