Notification system From (Author) address not showing in backup emails

[ilium007]

I have set up an SMTP notification target (Google Workspace) that uses the smtp-relay.gmail.com host and no authentication (src IP verification). When I test using the PVE > Notifications > Test button the test email comes through as "Author <email@address.com". When I use the same notification target from a backup job it comes from:

vzdump backup tool <no-reply@xxxx.com.au>

with a subject of:

vzdump backup status (pve01.xxxx.local): backup successful

PVE docs say that email should come from $author:

The From header in the email will be set to $author <$from-address>.

Where can I configure from address and subject line for vzdump operatoins?

I am using "Notification System" in the backup config

Did you change the mail from address?

I don't use SMTP so i wont be able to help much more

Could you share your /etc/pve/notifications.cfg and /etc/pve/jobs.cfg (at least the part with the backup job this issue is about) files? Be sure to mask out any sensitive parts.

I'm struggling to reproduce this issue here on my end.

Where can I configure from address and subject line for vzdump operatoins?

Author/From-Address should be configurable from the SMTP target settings. The subject line itself is not configurable at the moment (technically it is rendered from a template in /usr/share/pve-manager/templates/default/vzdump-subject.txt.hbs, but any changes to this file might be overwritten during in a package update. We plan to expose the notification templates to user at some point via an override mechanism, but no ETA on that).

Oh, and what is the output of pveversion -v?
