  • Just heard from support;

    it would be in shell /var/mdw/scripts/postfix restart

    But just to mention restarting the postfix cause's other issue's as well so I would suggest not to use it often .

    Currently it works good after unticking 'Limit Notiofications' (management - notification - global tab)

  • Changing the hostname will stop notifications if the hostname consists of only numbers.
    I changed it back to 4844 and notifications stopped.
    Reboot UTM did not help.
    I restarted the postfix and got an  error about invalid hostname with all numbers.
    I changed it back to all letters and rebooted the UTM (because i was told that restarting the postfix to much could cause other problems)
    and the notifications started working again.
    This to inform that the use of only numbers (perhaps no numbers are allowed at all?) is not a valid hostname configuration.
    p.s. actually i did not rebooted the UTM but turned if off and on again.
    I am not sure a restart will do the same as off - on
    Today i was connected with VPN and rebooted the UTM and i could login again without reconnecting the VPN so i think it has not completely rebooted but only restarted some daemons/services?
