Debug file as requested

TrueNAS 12.0-U3.1 predominantly, but the issue is true for 11.3-U5 and 12.0-U4 as well.

Thank you for the report, .
Can you please specify what version of FreeNAS/TreNAS/SCALE you are using? Also, if possible can you attach a debug file to this ticket? To generate a debug file on TrueNAS CORE, log in to the TrueNAS web interface, go to System > Advanced, then click Save Debug and wait for the file to download to your local system. In TrueNAS SCALE, this option is in System Settings > Advanced.

The comments in the Topic:
The new UI concentrates e-mail into 3 places, from what I've seen.
Root's e-mail address, under Accounts->Users. From what I can tell, this is only used for OS-level alerts, which should be very rare.
System->Email, which defines the external mail settings.
System->Alert Services->Email. If this is blank, it will use the setting from 2.
Jails and plugins need to have their e-mail set up individually.
----------------
An I correct that the only SMTP settings are in 2 System->Email?
It's the smtp setting I am worried about because I have only changed smtp provider, not the addresses/domain.
IIUC the only place that I would need to change is 2 System->Email - Correct?
-----------------
Correct. System->Email is the only place to define external SMTP parameters.
-----------------
While UPS triggers are covered under System > Alert Settings, there's still an email field under Services > UPS. It's unclear whether this is defunct now, or whether it still needs to be configured? If it's defunct, it should really be removed from the latter to avoid any ambiguity.
