I added a new file 80_own-motd to the /etc/update-motd.d directory on my Ubuntu 15.10 Server.

#!/bin/sh
echo ">>>>>>Welcome to my Ubuntu Server<<<<<<<<<<
------------Questions to me@me.com--------------"

The output of the sudo run-parts /etc/update-motd.d/ shows the expected messages. When I restart the Server it shows the same message as before. :/ Here you can see my Folder Structure (80_own-motd is my new file):

/etc/update-motd.d$ ls -la

Mostly likely you need to add UsePAM no to your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. That solved the issue for me.

Also see No MOTD on Ubuntu 14.04...?
