Hi lava-users,

my Debian machine running lava-server (2019.04) sends mails via msmtp/msmtp-mta. Mails from cron or apt work fine. But I got no mails from lava. Even when I submit a test job with a notify statement.  

notify:

  criteria:

    status: finished

  recipients:

  - to:

      method: email

      user: default

  verbosity: verbose

The user default uses my real mail address not a system mail address.

This is the Django log:

Lava has a problem with smtp. Is it necessary to have a complete smtp server on the local machine? Or is there a special smtp configuration?

Greetings,
