OK, so I just solved the problem, but I’m not sure why it was a problem.

SysConfig Framework->Core-> NotificationSenderEmail was reset to the default 
otrs@<OTRS_CONFIG_FQDN>, when it was set to the email inbox previously.  No one 
manages this machine but me, and I haven’t logged into it in a while.

Any clues on why this would suddenly reset??

Thanks,

Yeah, I followed that path, even called my email hosting provider, and we 
couldn’t find anything wrong.  Also, when it can still send a new email when I 
create a new email ticket, doesn’t that eliminate that as a culprit?

indeed. It means what it says on the box.
How to fix? Well, this happens because the tickets create new ticket 
notifications and send via the SMTP server or sendmail and the SMTP server 
refuses to send because the notification sender address is not allowed to send 
mail, either anonymously, or under the credentials passed to the SMTP server.

"No, really, how do I fix that?"
permissions to send means the SMTP server is declining. If it's a credential 
issue, check with the SMTP server authentication/allow the IP address to send 
from anything without authentication. OR change your notification sender 
address to something that's allowed to send.

This isn't an otrs issue. It's a message that OTRS reports from the SMTP server.

I have an OTRS set up where it’s been working perfectly fine in a production 
environment for 18 months now, grabbing emails from a pop3 account.  All of the 
sudden today, emails stopped coming in.  I checked the pop3 account using a 
webmail client, and it shows emails in it.  When I go to fetchmail in the admin 
section, it spends a second running, and then my browser pops up a download for 
a 0 byte index.pl<http://index.pl> file.  It creates a new ticket for the first 
email in line only; also in this case, the email is an HTML file, and it spits 
it out as text-only in the ticket (where it used to preserve it as html), and 
won’t delete that email, or any others.  System logs state that it complains 
“Can't create PID PostMasterMailbox, because it's already running 
(otrs.office.emediatrade/1396)!”.  I’ve found people online with similar 
problems, and they stated to go into mysql, and run “ select * from process_id 
where process_name = 'PostMasterMailbox';  delete from process_id where 
process_name = 'PostMasterMailbox';”, and then run 
/opt/otrs/bin/otrs.PostMasterMailbox.pl<http://otrs.PostMasterMailbox.pl> –f 1. 
 When I do this, it clears out the entry in mysql as expected, but when I run 
the pl script, it says

[root@otrs log]# 
/opt/otrs/bin/otrs.PostMasterMailbox.pl<http://otrs.PostMasterMailbox.pl> -f 1
POP3: Message 1/13 
([email protected]/mail.ex1.secureserver.net<http://[email protected]/mail.ex1.secureserver.net>)
Couldn't send mail: 550 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to send as this 
sender
at /opt/otrs/Kernel/System/Email/SMTPTLS.pm line 172

An entry is created again in mysql, the logs say that it can’t create a PID, 
because it’s already running, and ps –ef | grep PostMasterMailbox.pl turns up 
nothing.

If I go into the UI, and create an email ticket to myself, it successfully 
sends it to my inbox.  I’ve tried rebooting the server, but no avail.

I’m at a loss, because no email settings changes have occurred for months.

Please help??

Thanks,
