   Since that is working, why not click up a terminal,   
      
   su - root   
   mcc->Security->Set up your personal firewall   
   and check mark ssh   
      
   OK and get out of mcc   
   systemctl start shorewall   
   journalctl -fa   
      
   and do another ssh test. If the test passes, go ahead and   
   enable shorewall with   
   systemctl enable shorewall   
      
      
   While I am thinking about it, have you put your login id in   
   /etc/postfix/aliases, around line 80, and executed   
     postalias aliases   
     systemctl restart postfix   
      
   That will send your login id any messages sent to root.   
   Example from mine:   
      
    tail -12 /etc/postfix/aliases | head -5   
      
   # Person who should get root's mail.  This alias   
   # must exist.   
   # CHANGE THIS LINE to an account of a HUMAN

   OBYTW, you might consider an hourly cron job to tell you if any   
   servers are in a failed state.   
      
   Mine scans  "systemctl --failed" output and runs   
    nohup xmessage -display :0.0 -fg red -bg yellow -file /local/tmp/failed.log &   
   anytime a service is down.
