2 out of 3 nodes sending email notifications

[AN00b]

Just rebuild my home lab
2 out of my 3 nodes are sending notifications after backups

i havent setup any smtp relay and using the default sendmail config
i have checked Datacenter -> users -> root has the correct email
when i do a test from notifications mail-to-root i never receive the test email

a bit lost to why only 2 are working

PVE 9.2.2

Hi,

This is likely node specific, since the default mail is handled locally on each node. Could you please run `mail-to-root` test on the failing node and share the relevant mail logs from that time, e.g., journalctl or `/var/log/mail.log`.

I would also compare `/etc/postfix/main.cf` with working node.

not sure how to do the `mail-to-root` test on the failing node; i only see the notifications settings at the datacenter level and not on the actual nodes
nothing in journalctl after doing the mail to root test from the DC notifications
no /var/log/mail.log on any of the nodes
/etc/postfix/main.cf is the same on all the nodes

not sure how to do the `mail-to-root` test on the failing node

Go to `Datacenter` -> `Notifications` -> `Notification Targets` then click `Test` button.

Please open the Web UI via the failing node's IP and test `mail-to-root` again, during running the following command:

journalctl -f
