That might be some 2.6 specific thing. Can you stop the service, wait a
bit and then restart? Or even reboot the server? And then check the logs
to see why it didn't start?

Including that no_oe.conf file actually disabled Opportunistic Encryption,
which you are not planning to use. It will only cause you headaches if 
you do not disable it by including the no_oe.conf file.
