Question
An administrator configured the OPBackup utility to send email notifications but isn't receiving the notifications. What is wrong?
Cause
The following lines were in the op-backup-restore.env file.
BACKUP_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION_SERVER=mail.company.com
BACKUP_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION_TO_EMAIL_ID=first.last@company.com
BACKUP_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION_FROM_EMAIL_ID=FCM Production Server
BACKUP_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION_SUCCESS_MSG_FILE=BACKUP_SUCCESS_MSG.txt
BACKUP_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION_FAIL_MSG_FILE=BACKUP_FAIL_MSG.txt
The following line is incorrect:
BACKUP_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION_FROM_EMAIL_ID=FCM Production Server
Answer
The "From Email" setting needs to be an email address containing no spaces.
This setting will work.
BACKUP_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION_FROM_EMAIL_ID=PRODAdmin@company.com
