Hello! I have a problem on all 25 servers with Proxmox. When I set "Failure notifications" to "Always" then I get letters in any case. But when it's set up to "On failure only" then I didn't get any letter neither when backup is done properly nor it's failed. Anyone knows what can I do with it? Thanks.
 
works here
what is your pveversion -v ?
the task log of the backup which failed

I have different versions (from 4.4-18 to 5.0-30) and they have the same situation. Erlier it worked properly but it started about 3 month ago.

Log for example:

it worked on all versions but stopped 3 months ago on all machines? sounds like there is some other issue in your mail/network setup

Yes, but if I change the feature "Mail Notification" to "Always" it works and sends mail anyway.
