Stopping emails to disabled users?

Post by teleute »

Is there any overall setting to stop email notifications from sending for users that have been disabled? It looks like we could go into each user and turn off all their emails, but it seems like that should be an overall thing (in most cases, I'd think you wouldn't want emails going to users that have left the project).

Thanks!

Oh, from what I've just been told, unchecking all the boxes under the user doesn't actually stop the emails either - that's only for new bugs, not already existing ones. How are people generally handling this?

Also, re: version - it's weird, in older versions I saw the number right down in the bottom corner; now it's just showing "Copyright © 2000 - 2012 MantisBT Group". Oh - found it under Manage. Version is 1.2.11.

I am not able to reproduce the issue with latest stable version of MantiBT (1.2.14 at the moment)
After disabling a user by using the manage user page, no emails are sent.
Maybe there are old emails in the email queue.
Check database table mantis_email_table

If you want to see the version number like in version 1.1.x add the following line to config_inc.php (not recommend)

Code: Select all

$g_show_version = ON;

These are definitely new emails (ran some tests to confirm). It's interesting; the log says "2013-02-08 09:51 MST mail_recipient bug=4496, drop 65 (disabled)" - 65 being the user in question - but the email still sends.

Ah well - if I know that it is supposed to work as we want it to, and that it does correctly work in the current version, then *maybe* I can get them to upgrade. We shall see. :-) Thanks!
