proto error: unrecognized char

I updated to kumo 2025.05.06-b29689af and have since noticed transient errors with this error message:

seems like you have a space in a domain name; any idea where that is coming from?

"recipient": "example@gmail.com ", has a trailing space or character that renders as a space

yep, I just realized it’s related to a single customer who have an issue in their sending code it seems :man_facepalming:

This is a non-issue, sorry
