Hello
During the last 2 weeks, we received many error notifications :
However, we had no issues with smtp server... Any idea of what could be the issue ?
Thanks

Hello Emilie,
Do any of your site admins have notifications set up to receive them in an email digest?

Hello Emilie,
Sorry I wasn't clear. Can you please go to /admin/users/notifications.php (Administration -> Institutions -> Admin notifications) and check if any admins have set any notifications to "Digest"?
All the best for this year for you, too.
Cheers

Version: Mahara 1.9.2.
Hi, wondering if anyone can help. We've got the same notification issue, with a slightly different message:
"User notification error was probably caused by your server configuration.
1. 12 of them on 11/03/15
2. 10 of them on 05/03/15
3. 3 of them on 25/02/15
4. 4 of them on 11/02/15
There's nothing in between these dates. For each learner failed email, it then tries to tell one of our Admins which also fails, so there is an email for learner plus 1 for admin for each issue raised (and i've seen that being reported elsewhere on here). I've checked and the learners that it is trying to email has a valid email address as does the Admin user.
None of our Admins have notifications set to 'Digest' they're all set to 'email'.
Am I missing something obvious? Could it just be a problem with SMTP on those dates and we need to check the logs for that service?
Kind regards,
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
Yeah, that error message sounds like it's probably a problem on the SMTP side of things. So checking your mail server's logs would be a good place to start.
Cheers,
Aaron
