A Notification task fails with the message "Exception Reading Response."
This message originates from the SMTP mail server and might indicate that the email server properties for the Email Service are incorrectly configured in the Administrator tool. For example, the email server properties might specify that the SMTP server uses SSL security. However, the specified SMTP server port number is the TLS port number instead of the SSL port number.
