For installing discourse with official guideline and env, with many days I encountered email failure.
Latest version upgraded, and failure logs now is shown. The commit - [FIX: don’t create an EmailLog when we can’t send a digest](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/52a66826907bebe81b13ea6bd417f13a05443507)
Now I can see the following error, and it seems it is not due to smtp server error.
Log error is:
```
Job exception: end of file reached
```
The backtrace is:

I have also been getting this error lately … first I see the following in `/admin`:
> Some problems have been found with your installation of Discourse:
> Email polling has generated an error in the past 24 hours. Look at the logs for more details.
I actually don’t think the above message is related, but the errors seems to be related to `Jobs::UserEmail` and `Jobs::NotifyMailingListSubscribers`.

Same error here @downey: `end of file reached` is what the JSON returns.
Stack trace the same as @javenfang.
