Hello, I tried multiple things, but dont how to resolve it. We want to use own SMTP server. So under notifications I set our SMTP. When click on test, it works. Unfortunately when scheduled backup finish, it tried to send notifications with this result in log. Why? Name server is set in resolv.conf . PVX updates are also working, so DNS is set correctly. What I need to change, so scheduled backups will use our smtp?

log message:
pvx-ret-node1 postfix/smtp[1017353]: A18922068F: to=<notifications@xxxxxxx.com>, relay=none, delay=281871, delays=281861/0.01/10/0, dsn=4.4.3, status=deferred (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=xxxxxxx.com type=MX: Host not found, try again)
 
Make sure that "Use global notification settings" is selected in the notifications tab of the backup job options. If you are still on PVE 8, this setting is called slightly different, there you have to select "Notification mode: Notification system".
