I have a workflow that files scanned documents in certain folders based upon the templates and metadata fields. It also has an e-mail task that sends a copy of the scanned documents to certain e-mail addresses. The workflow works as expected for filing, but the e-mail task stopped sending e-mails sometime after 8/23/18. The workflow does not error, but the e-mails never arrive.
The e-mail task uses the default e-mail server and sender defined in the "Workflow Administration Console". That e-mail server is set to use SMTP with an Exchange server and it is done anonymously. This was working, but sometime after 8/23/18 (the last day an e-mail arrived) it stopped working. The logging on the exchange server doesn't even show an attempted connection from that machine. That "Workflow Administration console"->"External Objects"->Email can send a test message with no problem.
I rebooted the server, but that didn't make a difference. I also tried adding a new e-mail server entry name (other than the default one), but that didn't work either in the task (but the console could send a test e-mail message).
What could be wrong, since nothing has changed either with the Workflow server or the Exchange Server?
