Hi,

My suspicion is that the user has turned the Notifications on in their Notification Preferences.

To check this go to Admin, Manage Users, and in the Actions column select the "eyeball" so you
can masquerade as the user.

When the Masquerade Notice pops-up hit "Continue"

Click on the user's name in the upper right and then select Notification Preferences on the left-hand menu

Hi,

Your settings look fine. Let's try clearing out the db temp tables.

Please try this as root on the server:

echo "truncate table xi_events; truncate table xi_meta; truncate table xi_eventqueue;" | mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -uroot -pnagiosxi nagiosxi
postfix flush

Let me know if the notifications are continuing or if that stopped them.

Thanks
