PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE

Plesk 18.0.37 Update #2
Centos Linux 8.4

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

On page: Plesk > Tools & Settings > Update Settings
Under "Notifications" enabled "Notify about available and installed system package updates"
Email address: filled with a valid email address
Notification email frequency: Daily

This email address is ignored / not used when sending these notifications.

I believe the email address from the Administrator Profile is used.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

On page: Plesk > Tools & Settings > Update Settings
Under "Notifications" enable "Notify about available and installed system package updates"
Email address: fill with a valid email address (different from Administrator profile)

Wait for automatic update of Plesk Panel to take place.

See the email with subject "The Panel was successfully updated at ...." not send to the right email adress.

ACTUAL RESULT

See the email with subject "The Panel was successfully updated at ...." send to the administrator profile email address.

EXPECTED RESULT

Expect to see the email with subject "The Panel was successfully updated at ...." at the notifications email address

From developer:

On page: Plesk > Tools & Settings > Update Settings
Under "Notifications" enable "Notify about available and installed system package updates"

This email is used only for system updates notifications:
(Plesk for Linux) System Updates

On the test CentOS8 server with Plesk installed were several available system packages.

I've set test@example.com at Plesk > Tools & Settings > Update Settings > "Notify about available and installed system package updates" and info@example.com in Plesk > My profile as Administrator email.

The following utility was launched to install system updates:

plesk daily -f InstallSystemPackageUpdates

The PUM in progress:

[root@antoinette-igqf95 ~]# ps -aufx | grep pum

root 24979 0.0 0.0 29596 0 pts/0 S 12:40 0:00 \_ /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/pum --update --json

When it finished, the mail arrived at test@example.com:



This mail did not arrive at the Plesk admin info@example.com address.

See the email with subject "The Panel was successfully updated at ...." send to the administrator profile email address.

This notification is for Plesk updates itself, not system updates.
