When the Email Listener was started from SMA, following error was noticed - 

Steps to Reproduce

In the Email Account try to give the IP address of SMTP 2010 Exchange Server and send email using this account . Email will not be sent out from system.

Root Cause

The reported issue was caused due to a defect in Pegasystems’ code or rules and same has been fixed.  In the code, we check for the password, if it null or empty, then set the auth to false. So that it doesn't try to authenticate. Changes were done to SendEmailMessage function and also in the EmailListener.
