Error when configuring SMTP for backup reminder in cronjob

aaPanel_doitauto

Hello,

I have encountered a problem when creating a new cronjob with a backup task in aaPanel.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to Cronjob → create a new backup task.
2. Under Backup reminder, select to send email notifications.
3. Enter SMTP configuration (sender email, SMTP password, SMTP server, port 465).
4. Click Confirm.

At this point, an error occurs and the panel shows the following message:

KeyError: 'qq_mail'

Screenshot 1: Error message in panel
Screenshot 2: My SMTP configuration

It looks like the panel is expecting a config key for “qq_mail” but I am not using QQ Mail – I just want to configure my own SMTP server.

Could you please check and let me know how to fix this problem?

Thank you!

Yes, I also added my email under Alarm, and it works there. Actually, when creating a cronjob, the system should also take the configured Alarm module into account and offer it as an option under Message channel.

Hello,

I would like to share a new finding regarding the cron job notification settings.

When I create a cron job and select only Telegram as the notification channel (without email) and then save the task, something interesting happens:
• After saving, the email address from the “Alert Settings” configuration is automatically added.
• This makes it possible to select the email channel as well, even though it was not available before.

So it seems that the cron job module pulls the email settings from the global Alarm Settings after a save, but does not show them immediately during the first configuration.

Could you please check this behavior? It looks like the system should show the configured email channel right away when choosing “Message channel” during cron job creation.

Thank you!
