No user activity notification email since updating to latest emby prod version.

This is a scheduled task at 9AM each day.

So I checked the logs and found this at that time (see below) - Has sonething changed with the gmail sending - see 'The server committed a protocol violation' ? 

:

Further to this, I did a test email from my admin users email notification - and this sends fine.

After resaving the email notification, and running the scheduled jobs manually, it is now working.

Oh well - case closed.......
