[email failed] Bad sequence of commands after installing firmware 1.0.1.24

I had been getting emails of logs from the R6400 while it ran firmware 1.0.1.6. Since updating to firmware 1.0.1.24, emails fail with the log entry: '[email failed] Bad sequence of commands.' Is this is known problem with firmware 1.0.1.24?

  • Previously, using firmware 1.0.1.6, I was able to send email from the router using smtp port 587. Since updating to firmware 1.0.1.24, email failed. After some expermimenting, I found that using smtp port 465 works.
