The power went out today which it does with rather annoying frequency however this time a little niggle in my flow showed up. I have several email nodes node-red-node-email set up to send me notices of various issues in my home. After the power came back up the pi and associated network all returned to operations but this error now shows up in regards to the email nodes.  
"Error: Can not use IPv4 addresses with current network"  
Not sure I know what to make of this.

Interestingly a hard reboot seems to have fixed the issue

That has been reported a couple of times recently, it seems to be improved by making sure you are using the latest version of the email node. It can still happen though. I had it myself a couple of days ago after fiddling about with network connections (WiFi and ethernet).
