Notifications setup problem

[thusband]

I see a lot of this in the log. Obviously my notifications aren't set up correctly. I'm not sure where I should start.

Any pointers appreciated.

OK how do I just shut the notification system down? All I see in the logs are time out notifications. I can't seem to be able find the right setting to just turn it off.

Hi,
do you maybe have a firewall or something that blocks traffic to the mail server for the configured address? To completely disable, you can just disable all targets or matchers (Datacenter > Notifications).

Thanks, I use DNS blocker (AdGuard Home). Could that be it? Notifications worked in a previous Proxmox installation.

I thought I disabled Notifications. Is there something else I should disable?

I appreciate the help.

Hello,

How did you setup the SMTP connection? If I am not mistaken for using Proton's SMTP you should either use the ProtonMail Bridge [1] or follow the instructions at [2] which use a different port than the one being used according to the logs above.

Do you maybe still have backup jobs with an explicitly configured mail address for notification?

I don't remember doing any SMTP setup with Proton. In the previous Proxmox setup I used my Gmail account. Maybe I need to reinstall Proxmox?

Isn't there a way to just remove Notifications and be done with it?

No I don't. This is a new installation. Everything was wiped when I set it up.

So there's no way to just turn Notifications completely off?

Please share the output of /etc/pve/notifications.cfg. Do you see the log entries after a specific job?

Should I be able to get that output from the shell? It says permission denied. I've also tried to ssh in and get a not permitted.

Maybe I need to start over again. A real pain but I'm at a loss here.

edit: from notifications.cfg below.

sendmail: mail-to-root
        comment Send mails to root@pam's email address
        disable true
        mailto-user root@pam

matcher: default-matcher
        comment Route all notifications to mail-to-root
        disable true
        mode all
        target mail-to-root
