Description

Hi,

I try to setup email notifier but I couldn't achieve it so far. I'm getting this error constantly;

`"level":"error","ts":1526192464.6958203,"msg":"failed to send","type":"module","coordinator":"notifier","class":"email","name":"default","cluster":"local","group":"EngineReportingConsumer","id":"","status":"OK","error":"EOF"}`

I tried to use default email template, then change it to really simple text only; something like;

> Subject: [Burrow] Kafka Consumer Lag Alert
>
> The Kafka consumer groups you are monitoring are currently showing problems. The following groups are in a problem state (groups not listed are OK):

but still getting same error.

Research direction

The report concerns the email notifier and a repeated failed-to-send EOF error, independent of the email template. Start by checking the notifier's email configuration and send path, then reproduce the failure using the supplied log context. Done means a configured email notification sends successfully without the EOF error.
