So I'd guess the mail server is not accepting connections or is not running. The mail server is supposed to be the one provided by macOS Server running on the same machine as the buildmaster.

I had updated OS X Server to macOS Server, but had not subsequently opened Server.app, which was apparently necessary to update the service data to new versions and start them up again.

I'm now updating and rebooting the buildmaster, then I'll commit some changes and see if mail is working.

Looks like emails are back.
