Sidekiq shows activation emails being sent to email address nil

Sorry for the delayed response. The job that triggered it was: Jobs::CriticalUserEmail

So I followed the guide exactly. When it came to registering the admin account, it did not send an email, and Jobs::CriticalUserEmail contained {“type”=>“signup”, “user_id”=>1, “email_token”=>“REDACTED”, “to_address”=>nil, “current_site_id”=>“default”}.

I did force the admin account just so I could see what issues there were. The result is the following:

  • Doctor works and email is received
  • Digest test works and email is received both HTML version and Plain
  • Any registration no email is sent, and the log for emails in the admin section do not even show a message that an email was sent.

Whenever a user tries to register it’s the same result:
Jobs::CriticalUserEmail contained {“type”=>“signup”, “user_id”=>2, “email_token”=>“REDACTED”, “to_address”=>nil, “current_site_id”=>“default”}.

The tail of /var/discourse/shared/standalone/log/rails/production.log shows (with redactions):

In the log there, it does show accurate email for the registartaion parameters, but sideqik still reports “to_address”=>nil
