    Emails have stopped sending and I need some help. I’ve posted my diagnostic test below. Emails stopped successfully sending from the site in the past few days. I noticed in the log this error which seems to correspond with the issue time frame: “Could not create lockfile /tmp/.postman.lock”

    It’s got nothing to do with the lock file

    Postman Transport URI: smtp:ssl:oauth2://smtp.gmail.com:465
    Postman Transport Status (Configured|Ready|Connected): Yes | Yes | No

    You have no connectivity to smtp.gmail.com on port 465, which I think is normal for HostGator. I don’t see how you could have had this working before?

    Run the Connectivty Test. You will probably find that you need to switch to the Gmail API instead of SMTP.

    Thanks – yeah. That selection got switched from API back to SMTP by the Client somehow. I already had API set up… Thanks again.
