Don't receive notification mails

[szeoguprer]

I've configured Postfix to be able to send e-mails over SMTP. See here
I've set an e-mail address for the root user via GUI.

Today I manually checked and had 12 system updates available.
Shouldn't I get a notification mail about that?

Did I miss something?

Hi,

have you tested it? - if no please try to test it with the simple command:

echo "Test mail from postfix" | mail -s "Test Postfix" your@email.com

Yes for sure I tested it. It works from the command line.

Im also not receiving any update emails from proxmox, email ist set.

Im using apticron instead, works perfectly.

apt install apticron apt-listchanges

cat << 'EOF' >> /etc/apticron/apticron.conf
EMAIL="user@example.com"
EOF

I get notified about backup runs and certificate renewals but not updates available. Is that normal?

Hi,

Do you check if the same email on Datacenter -> Users -> root/anotherUser ?

I must have missed that. Works now.
