I setup an alarm pipeline and email notification. It wasn’t working, so I disabled it. Despite having no pipeline and disabled notification, I am getting en error in the log every 10 seconds suggesting something is trying to send an email to “patjdixon”, but there is nothing to send it.

Where is this coming from?

See if the logger for “alarm.Notification.Blocks.NotificationBlock” on TRACE is logging anything. Put EmailNotificationProfile on DEBUG as well.

Do you have any gateway network connections configured?

I think I have the answer. I believe there were so many alarms queued up that it was generating notification requests for buffered alarms even when it was disabled. There does not appear to be a way to disable and flush all pending requests.
