No more scheduled task notifications after upgrade to 12.5

[philippL]

I have an additional email address for receiving "always" notifications on some cron jobs. It worked until I updated to 12.5. I checked that the cron jobs are actually still being run - I just don't get the notification emails anymore. Any idea how to start fixing that?

• no appropriate entries in mail.log or mail.err
• yes, the email address can actually receive emails
• -it does not work for new cron jobs either- okay, seems new cron jobs work?
• it does not work with different notification email address either
• yes, the cron job actually has command line output

hm, with a simple "echo" cronjob it works though

okay, seems it was due to the cron jobs being associated with no domain and being run as www-data. switched to domain (cant choose user there), now it works

but now it seems to do the wrong email addresses... regardless of whether I choose domain owner or specific email address. Headers:
