Summary of the issue you are facing:

We just got bitten by a security problem in richdocumentscode which leads me to the following question:

Is there a way to get Email notifications when installed app updates are available?

Seems pretty basic but…

Admin settings → Overview

Notify members of the following groups about available updates

Had to check…

Yes, I have that setting and I just confirmed my email address but I don’t get any emails (at least not with v33.0.9).

Do you get emails from your Nextcloud instance for other things?

P.S. Post your config/etc as requested in the support template.

I’m doing some testing…

Let’s see what happens at the next app update.
