Mantis sends email to every user in the system

Post by hgu »

Mantis version 1.1.8
I have just setup a mantis system and start to play aournd with it.
The problem I got is Mantis sends email to every user in the system even the user is not belong to that project.

For example, if a reporter create a new Mantis issue in the system, all user registed in the system will receive a notification there is a new issue created.
I suppost only the current reporter and the manager of that project should receive the email.

I am not quite sure where I did it wrong, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Why do you start with an outdated version which is not longer supported?

Because it's the version that comes with Ubuntu 10.04 - same reason I'm using 1.1.8.

I was about to report the same problem: Mantis has started (a) emailing every user in the system (b) sending a lot of blank emails.

Is this actually any sort of known problem, is it database corruption or what?

If it is a known problem, is it known to be resolved by moving to a current version?

Something is wrong in your system and since mantis 1.1.8 is not supported you need to update to the latest version to get relevant answers to your questions.

You can go to manage/manage configuration/email notification (if it exists under 1.1.8 ) and check the checkboxes. Modify them if suitable. That may resolve your problem.

Upgrading is recommended though even if the problem disappears.

We've now upgraded to 1.2.12, at long last, from the tarball. It's still happening, just the same. So it's not the software version. Any ideas?
