[EP-tech] Sending email from eprints using postfix

Hi I have been struggling with this issue for a while now. As far as I can tell, I have configured everything I need to get postfix to work in sending eprints system emails.
Summarizing: EPrints 3.4 on Ubuntu 24.04 with Postfix configured to relay via SMTP2GO. From the command line, sending email as the eprints user works: echo "Test message" | sudo -u eprints /usr/sbin/sendmail -v
will.hughes.rdg@gmail.com The message is delivered successfully. When using the web interface to send email (notifications, test messages), the process hangs indefinitely.
Current config in cfg.d/00_email.pl: $c->{sendmail_program} = "/usr/sbin/sendmail"; $c->{sendmail_args} = "-oi -t"; $c->{email_from} = 'abstracts@arcomabstracts.com'; $c->{email_from_name} = 'ARCOM Abstracts'; $c->{email_reply_to} = 'abstracts@arcom.ac.uk'; Direct SMTP via $c->{sendmail_method} = 'SMTP' also fails. Postfix logs show successful deliveries from CLI; no related errors appear when the web interface hangs. Does anyone have similar experience and/or a solution to this quandary, please? Best wishes
