How can I configure notifications sent by email

For the first post, please answer the questions below!

Describe your issue in detail

Hello friends, I have successfully configured SMTP and I have tested sending email to my account. But I am not receiving any notifications on my email, is there any additional configuration I must do?

What version of Cells are you using?

4.4.4

What is the server OS? Database name/version? Browser name or mobile device description (if issue appears client-side)?

Fedora 39
MariaDB: 10.5.25

What steps have you taken to resolve this issue already?

Restarted cells and sometimes I receive multiple notifications in one email.

Hi.

This is not very clear. You say:

So the user digest works, doesn’t it ?
Have you tried to send a test email when you configure the mailer ? Is it landing as expected in your mail box?

Hello
I have tried to send a test email and it works fine, but on normal days I don’t receive any notification on my email, such as shared files or any changes made on Cells.

This is an example of test email I have received

@bsinou
any updates? I can still restart cells and receive a bunch of notifications on email but I am not receiving them daily.

Weird indeed.

Did you check in the Scheduler ( Admin Console >> Show Advanced Parameters >> Backend >> Scheduler ) if the job Users Activities Digest seems to run correctly ?

Anything strange in the logs ?

By the way, it seems you did not define the External URL so all links in the mails will be broken.

I have checked the scheduler and it seems to be running

I am using a self-signed certificate with Caddy, and I am only accessing Cells from LAN not publicly accessible maybe that is the cause of why I am not receiving notifications?

@bsinou any suggestions, please? I wanted to check if users get notified through email when someone shares a file with them, for now, they need to log in and check for a notification bell.

It seems that the job run, indeed.

Could you check its log ? (each job run produces a bunch of messages, and this one tells what it sends)
Does the test email still work ? How is your mailer configured ?

Does the test email still work? How is your mailer configured?

Yes



This is a log I found while sending test mail
