Email Notifications Not Working (PVE 6.4-4)

[LS Solutions]

Hello,
I am new to this community, so apologies if this has been solved many times, but nothing seems to be here to what would help me with my weird issue.

I've tried to setup email notifications on my PVE. However I will not receive an email of VM backup even if set to send ALWAYS.

I've followed guides on the internet how to setup postfix and after a while I did get it working.
when running:

• echo "Test body message" | mail -s "This is the subject line" ladia@lssolutions.ie

I will indeed receive an email.


There has been few hiccups to get that working so I had to create file header_checks in /etc/postfix with this:

/^From:[[:space:]]+(.*)/ REPLACE From: "LSS 001 Proxmox" <alerts@lssolutions.ie>

and include in main.cf

smtp_header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/header_checks

after that I am able to send emails.


I did setup these things:

/etc/aliases:
root: ladia@lssolutions.ie

in PVE webgui datacenter > users > root > added email address

when I go trough /var/log/mail.log there are no errors just logs on successful sent messages I did try to manually send.

Any help would be much appriciated.
Thank you

Oh god, please delete this thread. I didn't see the input in Backup Job to specify email address there too. Apologies, please delete this thread. Email notifications are now working.

Unless you really insist on us deleting the thread - I'd much prefer to keep it online:
* You described a problem (which many users run into)
* You found the source and solution - and came back to report this

No need to apologize! - Thanks for sharing!
