Phabricator not sending outbound emails

I have set up my outbound emails on phabricator by following this guide.

However, my emails don't arrive. All the emails are queued. When I went to the daemons in Phabricator UI, I see that several tasks are failing. They all look like this.

Task 448: PhabricatorMetaMTAWorker

I'm curious of this data part. To me it sounds like phabricator fails running this command which is weir because if I run ./bin/mail show-outbound --id 154 manually I get this:

ID: 154

Actually, the problem was the SMTP server configuration, even though this error didn't tell me that. I changed the SMTP port from 465 to 587, restarted the daemons and it worked.

I had the same problem twice. The second time, it was because I could not resolve the smtp server name:

$ ping gandi.net
ping: gandi.net: Temporary failure in name resolution

Then I added a dns server in /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8 # <--- added
search home

and restarted the service

sudo service systemd-resolved restart

Right after, Phabricator automatically sent all the queued emails.
