First of all, please fix your mail agent to send text/plain in addition
to text/html (if you insist on sending html based contents).

In regards to Type=notify in the unit file, that *requires* a build with
--enable-systemd.  Without that, the systemd service manager will not
get a response from the openvpn process at all.  Which leads to a time
out and systemd will kill the OpenVPN process within (iirc) 90 seconds.

There is also another bug, where a patch [1] resolving this for the
v2.4.0 is on the -devel mailing list.  This bug is related to OpenVPN
configurations using --chroot.

Further, it would be good to see your ./configure arguments (you'll find
them in the config.log in the source tree).  If you use
--enable-async-push, Gert is most likely right; the patch is here [2].
