The only port scan difference between now and when I last looked is that port 443 is now open: > nmap -sT sizzelicks.com Starting Nmap 7.92 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2021-12-06 12:41 AEDT Nmap scan report for sizzelicks.com (194.163.45.150) Host is up (0.20s latency).

Perhaps something is causing both services to terminate (e.g. The OOM killer?). Check all of your logs (not just mail logs) to investigate why they aren't running. cheers, raf
