I am using macOS 10.12.5 Boss is using macOS 10.11.6, and iPhone 10.3.1 Server is macOs 10.11.6, and Server.app 5.2 Just a thought, if, the next time I have to do something like this, I use a freshly created user that doesn’t have mail configured - might this avoid the erroneous outbound notifications?
