Strange problem with mail Notifications

Hi,
We are new in GLPI, however we have very positive impression from product capabilities.
However we face very strange problem and we do not know what is causing it.
We have GLPI 9.2.3 version. We created service catalog with about 150 categories as a services. We use one entity and about 120 business rules mainly for Technician or Watcher assignment. We have integration with our AD, however we have several local users defined.
We face following problem. When ticket is assigned to IT Support local group in group there are 3 people from IT. Only one of them is receiving notifications. Before 2-3 weeks 2 of people receive notifications. The people that not receiving notifications from group do not receive notifications even if ticket is assigned directly to them either as Requester, Technician or Watcher.
Other strange thing with notifications is when watcher do not want to receive any more notification and check it to "No", i.e. he wants still to be watcher but not to be notified. No matter that he change it he still continue to receive notifications.
The strange thing is that I personally from before about a month stooped to receive notifications but when I delete some test tickets I started to have them again.
I suspect that somehow some ticket is blocking further notifications to specific person, but we do not know how to debug the process and we do not understand what is stopping notifications.

BR,
Ivan

P.S. Hi again. Is there anyone who can help me? 17.10.2018

P.P.S. Anyone here who can help me? 24.10.2018

Re: Strange problem with mail Notifications

I have the same problem, never found out what is causing it...
Some speculation is that we have international users that use many different languages. That could be a reason.

Re: Strange problem with mail Notifications

First used the latest version of 9.2: 9.2.4
After, for do you used plugins? if yes do a test with all plugins deactivated

For your issue, for which event of which object you don't receive mails?
Look at your users form is email address is still present.

But your GLPI in debug mode and look at Debug tab in the ticket to see all mail defined for which even, for which recipients with which email addresses

Re: Strange problem with mail Notifications

Hi,
Thanks for feedback.
We used 9.23.
A colleague of mine in IT department is not receiving any notifications by mail from about 3 months. As a time period at that time we've done some pilot with Project GLPI functionality. After notifications stopped working we've deleted all projects but it didn't solve the issue. Me, one other colleague and third colleague are in one local group. Both me and one of my colleagues we receive notification, the third one do not have anything. We've checked the log and there is no attempt for sending to him mails. We've tried to assign him ticket directly, but result is the same. He didn't receive notifications as any role - requester, watcher or technician.
I was in the same situation before one-two months. No relation with Project pilot test. After I deleted some simple tickets it suddenly started to send me notifications again.
I do not know how exactly notification mechanism is working and how other independent tickets can prevent sending notifications to totally separate tickets.
We've checked several times account of my colleague even in the table level in the database and I do not see any difference compared to mine.
I think that there should be some other reason for not having notifications.
We have issue in our production system. We couldn't reproduce it in our test environment.
We have several plugins installed, but we will need a maintenance window in order to check what will happen if we disable it and we will be able to do it next weekend.
We have following plugins part of them operational, part not:

Any documentation how notification is working and any clue how other ticket can block sending notifications from other tickets?

Re: Strange problem with mail Notifications

Just one more remark connected with smlabonia comment. We used mainly Bulgarian and English language if it matters somehow to the case.

Re: Strange problem with mail Notifications

Have you defined a template of notification for the language of the user who not receive mail?

A ticket can't block notification of other tickets.

Re: Strange problem with mail Notifications

We use standard localized template that come with software installation package.
If the problem is related to template I presume that everyone will not have notifications as we do not use specific notification templates based on the user. I receive such notifications in Bulgarian.
Is it possible some event connected with a user to block or reset sending of notifications, i.e. I have similar problem with notifications but after I deleted several ticket I started to have them again?

Re: Strange problem with mail Notifications

Hi,

We found how to restart receiving notifications.
The two people from IT department have interface set in English. Notification template is in Bulgarian in order to be customer oriented for the majority of our users.
When we change user interface of people in IT to Bulgarian they started to receive notifications.
It is really confusing. What is connection between these 2 settings and why the hell if interface is in English it should block notifications.
Can someone explain me how it works and what is connection?

BR,
Ivan Cholakov

Re: Strange problem with mail Notifications

Have you define a default notification template? (template without language selected)

Re: Strange problem with mail Notifications

I have only one template per type of notification and it's default but with Bulgarian translation in it.
Can you give me the logic behind in order to understand it's behavior?

Re: Strange problem with mail Notifications

One more thing. I've put Default Language in the General settings to be Bulgarian. Maybe this matter somehow.
