hi keith_7,

>system.net.mail.smtpexception: failure sending mail. ---> system.net.webexception: remote name not resolved: 'smtp.gjha.org'

1. according error message, looks dns issue, check dns configuration on wsus server, check if wsus server resolve fqdn of smtp.gjha.org, may open cmd, test result of nslookup smtp.gjha.org.

2. verify if other configurations correct via checking the following article:
