I'm having an issue with vzdump configuration/notification. I am trying to change my email address and SMTP setup to notify my new email address. Previous to the change everything was working as expected. I have made the changes in the GUI but it seems to be trying to send the backup notifications to my OLD email. My OLD email is *@gmail.com and the new one should be dustin@*. I have also updated my email address under my user and the associated SMTP under notification. When I test my SMTP, it works, but when the job runs it's sends the notification to the old email address. I even ran a PVE report and there is NO reference to my old email. Where is PVE getting this reference? Thanks for any help!
