I have a subscription where i get the message
" You will need to configure an SMTP server before emails will be sent to this subscription’s selected teams. "
No subscription emails will be sent.
But a SMTP server is configured and i already got mails from Octopus with these settings.The SMTP uses no credentials which is ok for the step template.
When i enter some random credentials. The message changes to " SMTP settings are available for this Octopus server. Emails will be sent in relation to this subscription’s selected teams. " and emails will be sent.
So a workaround exists.
