Several days ago, we had a very brief power outage.  My server rode it out and did not go down, but my apc ups logged it on the server and my ethernet link dropped.  After that time my email notifications have been broken.  I use gmail, so port 465 is chosen in the simplefeatures config.  The settings have not changed, finally I did a reboot, expecting something stuck... no such luck.

 

From log:

In the GUI, I have debug enabled but I only get the following when I try to force a test email. 

syslog:

Mar  4 09:18:22 Tower sSMTP[25299]: Unable to connect to smtp.gmail.com:25

Mar  4 09:18:22 Tower sSMTP[25299]: Cannot open smtp.gmail.com:25

 

I also get this in syslog, so the server is setting up the wrong port, but I am not sure where to change it.  The GUI says port 465

I am fairly linux noob, please be explicit in your troubleshooting requests.

 

Thanks Matt

Looks like your still on the old simplefeatures. Don't know if upgrading would fix or not.

 

The new one has .cfg files in /boot/config/plugins/simpleFeatures. I don't remember exactly but the older version had something similar. Maybe look in the .cfg files
