Zabbix accumulating mails and sending every hour in a batch

[moshikoy]

Hi,
I have encountered a weird issue with Zabbix
I have several Actions with with Operations that are sending an email to a certain user group.

When one of these actions is triggered.
It does what is in the action operations, which is running a command and sending email (configured to start in immediately)

However, Zabbix is gathering and sending them emails to my mail server in a batch every hour and 59 minutes (example 1:59, 2:59, 3:59 ...) then i get dozens of emails all together.

Now, obviously I'd like to receive an immediate email notification and not have zabbix gather all the emails for the past hour and sending them at the same time

Any idea what is causing zabbix to gather them emails?

This is how the maillog looks on the mail server

root@mailsrv:/var/log/exim4# cat mainlog | grep zabbix@ | awk '{print $1" "$2" "$3}'

Hey there
anyone got a clue on this?

[frater]

Why don't you check the mail headers first and check if your statement is true and the culprit is really Zabbix.
I'm not saying it isn't. Just saying it's possible.

I can't help you though...
I'm not using mail alerts.
