# Test Emails Fail

 * I have an SMTP connection set up with AWS and when I use the “Send a Test Email”
   feature I get this error: Transaction failed: Expected parameter value, got “\”.
 * If I trigger an email from within’ WordPress the email goes through and shows
   up as successful in the logs. It seems like the test feature is broken in my 
   scenario. Is this working for anyone else right now?

   continue without any problems. We are working to fix it on priority and will 
   release a bug-fix version soon.
