Notifications / Setup

Make the delivery path healthy before tuning preferences.

Use this checklist when a self-hosted Logister install should send project emails.

Required path

Four pieces have to line up.

Piece	Check
SMTP	Set `LOGISTER_EMAIL_FROM` and SMTP or SES variables. Verify auth/password reset mail first.
Worker	Run `bundle exec sidekiq -C config/sidekiq.yml` with the same secrets as the web process.
Project access	The recipient must be a project owner or project member.
Scheduled jobs	Digest, monitor, health, and retention sweeps need a scheduler or job setup that enqueues them regularly.

Verify

Test from simplest mail to project-specific mail.

Send a password reset email.
Start the worker and confirm it connects to Redis.
Create a new error group with a unique fingerprint.
Check worker logs and EmailNotificationDelivery records if the message does not arrive.

For exact SMTP variables, read deployment email settings. For symptoms, read email troubleshooting.
