Redmine

Hi,

We have a strange issue with Redmine. Hope you guys can help us or give a little hint where to look for the solution. The problem that we encounter is that the first reaction assigned to a user in an issue isn't send by email to the person. When you create a second reaction it will be send.

This is what we do:

• User A sends an email to Redmine (or adds one using the GUI) that will be assigned to another user in the system
• As expected the new message is visible at the project
• User B opens the issue and adds a reaction and at the same time he assigns the issue back to user A
• User B stores the update ;)
• You would expect that user A receives a notification by email since the account setting is configured with the option "mail notification for all issues assigned to me". User A does not receive the reaction by email.
• Now... User B adds a new reaction. The message is still assigned to user A. No the strange thing happens, user A received a email notification!

The SMTP server is allowed to send all emails from the Redmine machine without any restrictions. Looking at the mail server log. The first message is never delivered at the server, the second is.

We've also tested the same procedure with external email accounts and SMTP servers. Same problem :(

At the moment we are running version 3.1.1. We've migrated from a 2.x version, in both situations we had the same problem. We've also tested this with other accounts in Redmine, some account have the same issue. Others work like a sunshine...

Do you have a clue where we need to look so we can solve this strange thing? Strange it is since the behaviour (as said) isn't happening with all accounts although the notification settings are the same.

Thanks for your reaction!
