Thank you so much for adding more log regarding mail errors.

I can finally see the error I had. Here it is :

Does this ring any bell by any chance ?

I can open in a new standalone issue if needed.

👋 @Aboitier

I can open in a new standalone issue if needed.

No need, this is the only comment so far so we won't trouble anyone by simply resolving it here :)

"Message":"The stream provided: 'priority'

AFAIK Plausible Cloud uses Postmark and a special "priority" message stream for emails that can't be unsubscribed from. I guess you are also using Postmark but don't have a stream named like that. The fix is probably to make this logic in Plausible EE-only. A quickfix on your side might be to create that stream on Postmark.

[ruslandoga]

Basically, we need to wrap that line

analytics/lib/plausible_web/email.ex

Line 504 in f262bea

|> put_param("MessageStream", "priority")

into a conditional block that only runs in EE version, and not in CE. I'll open a PR for that now and probably release the fix as v2.1.5-rc.2 v2.1.5-rc.4 tomorrow (or once it's merged).

PR: #4990

[Aboitier]

Thank you so much 👍
No rush on our side so far, we found another way to send mails to people in the meantime (but with more human inputs needed).
Will be glad to test rc.2 as soon as it is released.

[Aboitier]

FYI I have tested with rc.4 and it worked like a charm. Thanks 👍

[ruslandoga]

Thank you for trying it out!
