Hi, I’m scratching my head over this one!
The testmail command works:
root@matilda:/var/vikunja# docker exec vikunja-vikunja-1 /app/vikunja/vikunja testmail alex@slab.org

No problem. But other emails don’t send. For example
root@matilda:/var/vikunja# docker exec vikunja-vikunja-1 /app/vikunja/vikunja user reset-password 1

Password reset email sent successfully.
Despite the positive response there, nothing appears in my email server logs and nothing in my email inbox or spam folder. Triggering an email from the web front end also doesn’t work.
Any idea why a testmail would send and others wouldn’t?
