Betreff: [PVE-User] Where is Install Email Notification Config

 

Hey Folks,

 

Using PVE 8.3.x. I cannot find where the initial install email

notification target address is configured, It's not in /etc/aliases or

any /etc/postfix/* files that I can tell and I don't see it in the web

GUI anywhere.

 

Just to clarify, I'm looking for the email target that is entered

during server installation on the Admin Password and Email

Notification page.

 

Thanks.

JR

It is the mail address of the root user, aka `root@pam`.
There are two places you can configure things, depending on the
notification mode.

For one, under Datacenter > Permissions > Users, you can configure the
actual mail address of `root@pam`, which was set during the
installation.

Secondly, for the new notification system under Datacenter >
Notifications, where you can configure the `mail-to-root` target. This
defaults to sending to the mail address of the `root@pam` user as
configured above, so - depending on what you want to achieve - the above
might suffice.

Hope this helps!

Hi JR

>> It's not in /etc/aliases or any /etc/postfix/* files


proxmox-mail-forward uses the .forward  mechanism to “catch” emails sent to root (or any other user) - see aliases(5).

root@pve:~# cat ~/.forward
|/usr/bin/proxmox-mail-forward
root@pve:~# grep ^user:root /etc/pve/user.cfg 
user:root@pam:1:0:::admin@example.com:::

The user:root@pam entry in user.cfg is where the email address went that you entered during installation.

Lukas Wagner briefly described the mechanism in this <https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/is-the-use-of-proxmox-mail-forward-to-handle-mail-on-pve.133850/post-590618> forum post.
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/is-the-use-of-proxmox-mail-forward-to-handle-mail-on-pve.133850/post-590618

What he described is the legacy mode <https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-notifications.html#:~:text=legacy%20mode> for sending notification emails.
