Email Diagnostics are showing errors in red but Email server is fully functional
Problem

Symptoms
- Click on the link Email Diagnostics as shown in the screen print below
https://[instance name].service-now.com/email_diagnostics.do
- The following window is shown with errors:
Cause
This happens because this is a client script that will show up red warnings only based on a timeout value. This diagnostic script is not a real time connection attempt to the Email server.
Therefore, those errors do not represent a real issue but should only be regarded as a warning for a potential issue
Resolution
Not applicable as this is expected behavior
