<p>Thanks for the response.</p>
<p>I've added a <code>- ps: 'ls env:'</code> to my appveyor.yml. Wit that I can see in the <code>APPVEYOR_REPO_COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL</code> environment variable which is correctly set to <code>[REDACTED]@gmail.com</code>.</p>
<p>We still get the error sending email notification:</p>
<p><img src="https://i.gyazo.com/54dd693eefc23b2c0ea0e6867fad4180.png" alt="Error sending email screenshot"></p>
<p>Any further thoughts?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p></div>a.truskingertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/425830252017-05-21T08:25:52Z2017-05-21T08:25:52ZSending emails to commit authors<div><p>Sorry, it seems that we have issue with this functionality. Looking if we can fix this quickly. For now I can propose you the following workaround:</p>
<ul>
<li>Have all your contributors added as <a href="https://www.appveyor.com/docs/team-setup/#user">users</a> to AppVeyor account. If person already registered as user for some different organization in AppVeyor, add this person as a <a href="https://www.appveyor.com/docs/team-setup/#collaborator">collaborator</a></li>
<li>Ask each person to setup <a href="https://www.appveyor.com/docs/notifications/#global-email-notifications">Global email ratification settings</a>. To make it less noisy it can be set like on attached picture.</li>
</ul>
<p>Please let us know if workaround works. Sorry once again for misleading doc.</p>
<p>Ilya.</p></div>Ilya Finkelshteyntag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/425830252017-05-22T15:45:56Z2017-05-22T15:46:15ZSending emails to commit authors<div><p>Filed <a href="https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/1569">this</a> GitHub issue to track it.</p></div>Ilya Finkelshteyntag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/425830252017-05-23T00:08:56Z2017-05-23T00:08:56ZSending emails to commit authors<div><p>Hi Ilya,</p>
<p>Thanks for filing that issue.</p>
<p>In the meantime, I've tried setting up the alternative notifications which seem to work ok.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p></div>a.truskinger
