No emails from Filesystem Backup

Hi all,

I have Filesystem Backup configured to notify me by email that the backup has been successful, but after changing some settings in the Virtualmin email configuration I have stopped receiving notifications (I’m sorry but I don’t remember which settings I changed).

Could you help me find which setting I should change so that the notification email resumes?

NOTE: I do receive other emails normally, such as system package update notifications, and emails from the Joomla system.

Thanks

I tend to use the back up virtualmin servers in the virtualmin menus rather than webmin file system backup but if you can not remember what you altered it is going to be difficult to work out the error. Can you remember what vitualmin page you were on when you made the change that may narrow down where the error is

Forget backup notification emails for now, you need to make sure webmin can send notifications in the first place.

I cannot remember where the setting is where you set the email account and details you used to send emails. I want to say webmin → webmin options.

On this page you can do email tests.

@jimr1 can you find this setting.

There are a few places within webmin you can add a notification email address, the OP stated he changed a setting somewhere in virtualmin which stopped the notifications being sent, this is where we should be looking

It’s on my article, but I am not well so I can get it :pensive:

Thanks everyone,

I don’t remember which Webmin or Virtualmin configurations I changed. Sorry.

I tried the test in ‘Webmin > Webmin configuration > Sending Email’. The test email is delivered successfully.

I’ll wait until tomorrow for the backups to be made, because I’ve just changed the DKIM settings to see if that’s it.

I’ll say something. Thanks.
