sendmail timeout with Powercli 12.3.0.17860403

[jrr001]

After upgrading Powercli from 12.2.0.17538434 to current release 12.3.0.17860403 my sendmail of the vSphere vCheck started timing out. This happens from cmd line run or scheduled task run.

I eventually removed 12.3.0.17860403 and went back to 12.2.0.17538434 and sendmail works. Below was the error:
