We have two admins- myself and Dan. Dan receives notifications from user “system”, but I do not. I do receive other notifications- for example when someone mentions me- but not from system.
Examples of system notifications that Dan receives but I do not include “New advice on your site dashboard” and “Backup failed”. The specific “Backup failed” message was discussed at Disk space and backup failure notifications, but that does not explain why I do not receive other notifications from system.
One clue is that Dan is “watching” the topics from system, but I am only “tracking”. I don’t see how to change that.
“site contact group name” is currently empty (the default). Should I set it to @admins? If there was any default, it would be me, as I am the original admin and Dan became an admin only recently.
I’ve done that now and will wait for a system message to test it (I can’t think of a way to trigger it conclusively). But what is the behaviour if the setting is empty? It seems to be notifying only the most-recently-added admin, which would be odd.
