PowerProtect smtp_send.py erzeugt einen Fehler: 'NoneType'-Objekt hat kein Attribut 'encode'.

Die Test-E-Mail zur E-Mail-Einrichtung schlägt fehl und weist darauf hin, dass die SMTP-Details (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) überprüft werden müssen.

Error
104: Sending the test email failed. Socket error : mailserver.mydomain.com
Verify the SMTP details and try again. 

PowerProtect Data Manager enthält die /usr/local/brs/bin/smtp_send.py Skript zur Fehlerbehebung bei SMTP-bezogenen Problemen. Das Skript kann nicht ausgeführt werden und erzeugt die folgenden Informationen:

admin@my-ppdm:~> /usr/local/brs/bin/smtp_send.py -HOST mailserver.mydomain.com -FROM test_email_address@dell.com -PORT 25 -ARGS True -S "PowerProtect Data Manager test email" -C plain -R test_email_address@dell.com
