Email Not Working After Downtime

Posted March 6, 2014

So yesterday my droplet went down because of some node issue. When it powered up it was not able to send any mail.

I had installed sendmail and had it working beforehand. Is this due to some service not being started up?

Make sure sendmail is running: <pre>sudo netstat -plutn | grep mail sudo ps wwaux | grep mail</pre>
