Ok, had a real oddity here, and am working to track it down.
I've done a few updates to 7(1708) via CR at this point, and hadn't had any real issues, so during a slack time today updated our email server. Now, prior to the update, I had our email server set up with postfix, but after the update the system had sendmail enabled and postfix disabled. Like I said, I'm still looking into it, but just a heads-up.
A 'systemctl disable sendmail; systemctl stop sendmail' then 'systemctl enabled postfix; systemctl start postfix' seems to have restored things. I would probably be well-off to remove sendmail altogether, but I would have thought that the startup settings would have been honored anyway.
