Email Alerts

Hello,

I haven’t changed anything, and now email alerts have stopped working. The only changes are the nightly upgrades, and this was working 2-3 weeks ago.

If I go to Settings > Global Settings > Alerting Settings > Email transport > Test transport, I get the following message:

Test to mail failed
**Invalid address: (addAnAddress to): 0**

I tried adding a new alert transport in Alerts > Alert Transports, but I get the same message. sysContact is set on the devices.

====================================
Component | Version

====================================

Thanks.

Do you have, by chance, set up default contact?

If you have both to yes AND no email in Default contact, thats probably your issue.

That fixed it! I don’t know what’s changed, but for some reason it requires a default contact. Luckily the default contact matches the sysContact on the devices, so this isn’t a problem.
