Nextcloud version: 23.0.0
Operating system and version: Docker 20.10.2 on Debian 5.10
Apache or nginx version: nginx 1.20.2
PHP version: 7.4.26
The issue you are facing:
As we only use a subset of Nextcloud’s features I didn’t connect it to a mail server. Today however I noticed that, since setting Nextcloud up, the log has been spammed with mail related errors - every 5 minutes. After googling I followed Nextcloud: Email komplett abstellen - Nextcloud/Owncloud - linuxmuster.net to disable email connections from my nextcloud instance however that flag doesn’t seem to do anything - the error still keeps getting printed.
Steps to replicate it:
- Setup Nextcloud without setting up a connection to a email server
- Wait a bit
- Every 5 minutes the same error gets logged twice
