Can send email from CLI, but not from GUI

[enoch85]

Hi,

Strange issue, just set up msmtp on my server, and sending emails from CLI works, but every time I do a backup for example, I don't get any notification.



I read som forum posts that Proxmox uses pveforward, but I don't even have that executable installed:

root@proxmox01:~/scripts# ls -l /usr/bin/pvemailforward ls: cannot access '/usr/bin/pvemailforward': No such file or directory

So, am I missing something here?

It's exactly this issue... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61464723/msmtp-cannot-send-mail-via-ovh-smtp-to-root-address

root@proxmox01:~/scripts# cat /etc/aliases root: something@whatever.com default: something@whatever.com cron: something@whatever.com

Still doesn't work. :/

so did you have it working with alias .. or just putting the destination email into datacenter/permission/user - root email did it ?

It works now, but I don't remember what I did. I think alias was one of the fixes.

Sorry
