Update Notification going to wrong user

[floh79]

Hello,

I finished a customer project (=Create website) and the website is running on customer's host since then. So far so good.

Now I always get email about joomla update but I'm not involved in the website anymore and the administrator of my customer will take care for joomla instance. Unfortunatelly I still always get joomla update notification.

Yes I still have a super user account there in case I have to work/fix some pages if my customer ask me to do that.

As the email explains, it from a Joomla!-Plugin called "System - Joomla!-Aktualisierungsmitteilung". There I already set the email address of the administrator. The administrator has a super user account and the email-address of that account is exactly the same as I set in update-notification plugin. So why the hell do I still get the notifications

Any Idea whats wrong there?

Current Version is: 3.9.28
(I know, but I'm not responsible for that website anymore... if I were responsible, I'd already updated to 3.10.2.)

Best regards
Floh

Is your email the one used in Global config?

Hello gws, there is no entry for email address but smtp-settings, the from address there is of course not my email address.

Where is the email-setting in global config? I looked into all tabs (site, system, server, textfilter, permissions).

System » Global Configuration » Server » Mail Setting (bottom right of screen)

You can configure additional options depending on what you use for the Mailer setting.

Your own user profile also has an option for "received system notifications" (in the back end user manager).

I assume that means administrator type notifications such as joomla update available advices etc. (and it may include "a new user has registered...." notices - anything you would expect the super admin to receive.

Hello,

@AMurray: It is already set to disabled for my account, so it didn't help unfortunately.
@Sozzled: These settings are for outgoing mails.

So... any ideas?

Hi, nobody has this issue? Does it* work for you?

*) By entering email address in settings of the joomla update notification plugin?

[Per Yngve Berg]

The email address you put into the plugin, does it belong to a User that is an administrator or higher?

[floh79]

Yes it belong to a account which is a superuser (who is the current admin).

[Per Yngve Berg]

Here is the code that fetches the Super Users:

Code: Select all

// Let's find out the email addresses to notify
		$superUsers    = [];
		$specificEmail = $this->params->get('email', '');

		if (!empty($specificEmail))
		{
			$superUsers = $this->getSuperUsers($specificEmail);
		}

		if (empty($superUsers))
		{
			$superUsers = $this->getSuperUsers();
		}

		if (empty($superUsers))
		{
			return;
		}

The code looks ok. So no idea why I still get update-notifications. I give up and will disable "Receive System Emails" in my account.

Thank you!
