System Error Email Notification of Updates to Confluence Content
Asked by Ramin Schadmehri:

Dear Support,  

since we updated Confluence from version 3.5.5 to version 4.0.5 the function *"Email Notification of Updates to Confluence Content"* is still not working. Ever 24 hours every user (also the administrators), who set the option *"Subscripe to daily updates"* in the *"User-Menu"* , get an **empty** email from Confluence. We configured an smtp-server for email and all other email-funtions of Confluence, for example *"Share-Button"* , works fine.  

Our IT-Administrator copied an Error-Message from our local Server, where Confluence is installed.  

This Error Message is below (and attached).

Thank you for your support.
