I am using OJS on the CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 with SELinux. Everything was working just fine before I have upgraded it to version 3.1.1.4. The upgrade to this version also required the upgrade of PHP so I upgraded it from ver. 5.4 (from centOS repository) to version 7.2 (from remi repository). After upgrade I have noticed that OJS is not sending emails and I cannot send email to users anymore.
At first, when I would write an email to a user and click send, a dialog would disappeared like everything is OK. In logs (message, maillog, audit/audit.log, httpd/error_log) I cannot find anything that would explain what is happening. I have asked system administrator to check logs on SMTP server, but he did not find any coming from OJS. I have one service on server which is reporting some activities via email and it works fine. Then I have downgraded PHP to 5.6, no effect.
Then I have upgraded it back to version 7.2 and now when I want to send mail to a user, the dialog does not close (on the far right side of send button indicator is rotating). I can cancel it and still no errors in logs. I have tried to disable SELinux temporarily, but no results.
I think that it might be a problem with PHP if some modules are missing that I am not aware of. These are packages which I have installed:

Can you help me, please? I run out of options and ideas.
