Activity:send-mails not working

ℹ️ Support
1

Hello,

I am here because I can not find a solution to my problem.

I would like to be notified when I create or delete a file.
My server is configured well I tried several smtp server, I even did a new installation of Nextcoloud in a docker but I do not receive any notification of file modification.

I do receive the test email on the admin page I do receive the email when I share a file, but no activity report email.

I tried with Ajax it doesn’t work, Webcron the same, and Cron the same

I use this

  • / 30 * * * * php -f / var / www / nextcloud / occ activity: send-mails hourly
    0 12 * * * php -f / var / www / nextcloud / occ activity: send-mails daily
    0 18 * * FRI php -f / var / www / nextcloud / occ activity: send-mails weekly

even manually nothing happens

php -f / var / www / nextcloud / occ activity: send-mails

In nextcloud logging I don’t see anything going through.

I’ve tried everything I can’t find the solution do you have any idea ?
