Email Tool Error | "Func 'curl_easy_perform' failed, ret =8, desc - Weird server reply"

[sbanerjee1998]

Hello All,

I'm trying to configure an email tool. After reaching out to my organization's IT team, I have been able to configure the email tool with the SMTP details successfully. However, the email tool works intermittently. Sometimes it runs without any issues, but on other occasions, it throws an error with the description -

"Error: Email (73): Record#1: Func 'curl_easy_perform' failed, ret = 8, desc = Weird server reply"

I understand there's another community post (Solved: Weird Server Reply error message - Alteryx Community) where the real root cause wasn't uncovered.

If anyone has any idea about how to avoid this error, it would be much appreciated. Please do let me know.

P.S. - I'm unable to attach an image of the configuration due to certain restrictions. Below is the configuration of the email tool:

1. Encryption - None
2. Use SMTP Authentication is not enabled.

Thank you.

Siddharth

Seems to NOT work up through 2024.1 and in 2024.1 it works if you have one email address and you mess with the separator between emails.  seems not to like ";"

However I am not seeing an issue in 2024.2
