setsebool -P httpd_can_sendmail on

Blocked in Maintenance-Mode after upgrade¶

basically taken from https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/17440

cd /usr/share/owncloud
sudo -u apache php occ maintenance:mode --off
sudo -u apache php occ upgrade

did it for me (upgrade to Owncloud 8.0.10 @ 2016-02-29)

sudo -u apache php occ maintenance:repair

may be of additional help
