Apache, Ngix, LigHTTPD, etc.), which *nix veterans know as the server daemon, can choke independently of the the network connection's status. So yes, a downed web/database/app server can mail you, depending on specific circumstances. The web service software (eg.

I had to close using Ctr+Z and it said:[1]+ Stopped sudo ssmtp Initially I used to get the following error when I write the e-mail (especially when I try to create the empty line after the subject): ssmtp: 550 preferably your XXX address error. (XXX is where I have an e-mail address)But later when I changed it, it seemed to work, but when I press Ctr+D it doesn’t close. I used the outgoing mail server address of my e-mail account provider in my configuration. However, in addition to the mail server address, the following information exisits in the mail server:Protocol: ESMTPSubmission: port 587 using STARTTLS: port 465 for TLS/SSL on connect. So I used the port 465 in addition to the mail server name. What could be wrong? Hi I feloowld your step, but when I press Ctr+D it doesn’t close.
