Sendemail script execution failed and no python.log entry

I am unable to get the sendemail command to send an email via either a saved search, or an on demand search. In the case of an on demand search (sample:)

index=dnsf "*error*"| stats count by host | sendemail [email protected] server=xxx-smtp.xxx maxtime=2m

The job times out with message "Script execution failed for external search command 'sendemail'". In the case of saved searches, I can see in the jobs log that the job completed, but there is no evidence that an email was fired or even attempted.

From reading other postings here, I have attempted to examine the python.log for evidence of email behavior but a wildcard search of the python.log returns no results... thank you for any help that you can afford
