[solved] Notifications on multiple emails

[Bambos]

Hello everyone,

i need to add a second email address under advanced, notifications.

it seems that only the first email is working, when i add the second email separate by comma and space. Is there any way to do that ? or not supported yet ?

Have you tried a semicolon instead of a comma to separate the two addresses? The semicolon is normally used in email clients, so it might work in this case. I've never tried it, though (using multiple recipients here).

Mmm, not sure I've seen that either. But I expect it to work since: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/2026

Edit: Though I see nothing that looks like it would allow it currently in notices.inc.

Ok, testing that it works fine for me exactly as you have entered it, comma separated.

I am testing in 22.05-RC but I'm not aware of any changes that have gone in there since 22.01/2.6.

@stephenw10 semicolon not working, returns an error.
comma "," not return error but is not sending the email. I'm on Version 2.6

[stephenw10]

Yeah, I found that. Only comma separated works. But it does work as expected for me. let me try to test in 2.6....

@stephenw10 thank you very much, i really appreciate it.

[stephenw10]

Yeah, it works fine in 2.6. Same configuration. I see emails arrive at both entered 'Notification E-Mail address' entries.

@stephenw10 what is the email you are using ??
still not working, i'm suspecting the email provider is not supporting multiple receipients. what is suggested to use ?

[stephenw10]

I'm using gmail. And both recipient addresses are gmail hosted. But I wouldn't expect that to make any difference. Sending an email with multiple recipients is a feature almost as old as the Internet!

If you swap the email address order is it still only the first one that's received?

@Bambos If your email server is unfriendly to multiple recipients maybe you can make an alias on the server that receives mail to one address and sends it to multiple addresses.

Thanks everyone for the help. The issue was the email server provider.
I configure with gmail app password and can send to more receipients succesfully.
