You need to set the `smtpmachine' configuration file to the name of a
machine which will relay for your Freeside machine.  See
htdocs/docs/config.html.  If that isn't working for you, try adding the
Debug option to line 727: 

$message->smtpsend( [ 'Debug'=>1 ] )  or die "Can't send invoice email!"; #die? warn?

I switched over to 5.6 when Debian did.  No problems.
