Hi Toeho,
It's likely to be the SMTP host you have defined for the email settings.
If you select Tools -> Server Options, and select the server, you can then go to the Email Settings tab to check entry for the SMTP host.
To make sure an email can be sent successfully you can send a test email from this tab.
Apologies for the poor error message, it's already been logged to improve the error message.
Thanks,

We've logged this to be addressed in a future release (reference SB_4341). Ideally we'll fix the blocking issue with a more elegant solution than a retry. Thanks for reporting the issue to us. / comments

Hi Giggles,
Can I just ask when you last ran a backup job? The purging of backups is a task which happens after the backup itself, so the files older than 4 days on your network location will only get deleted the next time it's run. Also it will only delete files for the databases which are being backed up in the job, so files for different databases will remain in the location.
If it is running a backup job for the databases which have backups in the remote location and they are not being deleted, could you send me the command you are using?
thanks,
