System Error Email Notification of Updates to Confluence Content

[Ramin Schadmehri]

Dear Support,

since we updated Confluence from version 3.5.5 to version 4.0.5 the function "Email Notification of Updates to Confluence Content" is still not working. Ever 24 hours every user (also the administrators), who set the option "Subscripe to daily updates" in the "User-Menu", get an empty email from Confluence. We configured an smtp-server for email and all other email-funtions of Confluence, for example "Share-Button", works fine.

Our IT-Administrator copied an Error-Message from our local Server, where Confluence is installed.

This Error Message is below (and attached).

Thank you for your support.

Best regards
