February 21, 201412 yr Hi - I just installed Dynamix and love it so far but I just have a question about the email notifications. on the settings page under Email Frequency (minutes) what if I just want email notifications for errors or problems and not the regular status reports? Can I just put a zero in this field?
February 22, 201412 yr I set mine at 720...every 12 hours I get a reassuring email. But that's too annoying, so I have an email 'rule' that makes the email 'read' and moves to 'trash' (though not deleted). Easy to do, since the sender and subject are constant if everything is fine. (turn on 'Append unRAID status to subject' in the Dynamix email setup). Should I need them, the emails are in the trash.
February 23, 201412 yr I still can't figure out why I'm not getting emails when issues come up like UPS on battery power like I had previously with the old SSMTP.

What exactly do you mean with "the old SSMTP" ? The notifications are generated by a shell script which calls SSMTP to send them ... I think he must be talking about the unMenu packages. I was using that until you released Dynamix and the unMenu package emails are a little different than yours. Don't remember the specifics but I could probably set it up that way again and do some testing if you're interested.

The email messages are sent/prepared by the shell script which was made available here on the forum (different contributors). I made a small adaptation so it could work together with the GUI, however I don't have the intention to make further changes to the script. Thanks for offering anyway
February 25, 201412 yr only somewhat related... I spent way too much time last night trying to get dynamix email notifications working with my gmail account (two factor authentication) before learning that an application specific password from Google was needed. Once I entered this pw in email settings page, I was good to go. Hope this helps others. Have learned LOTS from these msg boards in past year. Thanks to all for contributing. Kevin

I think you are right...it might have been via unMenu but I can't recall since there isn't even an SSMTP package under my unMenu anymore. I would get email notifications from lots of other packages when something happened. For example the APC UPS daemon would send an email when power was lost then another when it was restored. I also got some emails when unraid ran out of memory and I think when I had a seg fault problem awhile back too. I found it to be incredibly helpful unfortunately it went away after I installed your plugin and I guess I don't know enough about how it all works to even convey that clearly. Is there some kind of internal error message system built into linux that it was just forwarding to me via email? Here is one of the emails I had received before: Tower Power Failure !!!

Perhaps you can start by uninstalling the Dynamix email plugin, and see what will be restored/working again. Maybe different plugins are interfering with each other, perhaps installing different versions of ssmtp. At this point hard to tell for me.
