Also now I think this is related to my other support-question: https://discord.com/channels/564160730845151244/1168836797451747338

Summary

The user was experiencing issues with a custom SMTP server in the console. They discovered that the problem was caused by another service running on the same port and sometimes intercepting the API requests. They found a solution by making changes to the api.conf file. The fault was in the Apache config of the server. They also encountered a proxy error and received a notification in the Appwrite console. The user was advised to check their response in the PATCH SMTP request and make sure XHR is enabled. The discussion thread also mentioned a related support question about request types being filtered.

FYI, it's best to wrap code in 3 backticks for multiline code (https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/#syntax-highlighting.

I have to say in my case there was not just this fault, also another service was running on same port and sometimes the API request got to this different service - just FYI.

Best regards
