Unable to assign WIT alerts to specific users without who don't have admin rights - azure-devops

A team member without admin rights needs to be notified when WITs are assigned or changed. The login emails for our system is not the same as the work email and assigned to me is the only default option.
Changing the delivery settings and using a custom email doesn't trickle down to the WIT alerts, but works for the rest.
The assigned to field shows ##MyDisplayName## OR [Member] and not sure how to make that reflect the users it needs to go to.
Emails being sent to the wrong addresses.

Select the Custom email address option in the Deliver to drop-down list, then add the mailbox you want to receive the notification in Address field, so that even if the mailbox is not in your organization, the added mailbox will also receive the notification.

Azure DevOps project notifications settings not delivering to custom email address

I've made small changes in my project's notifications config:
In "Delivery settings" selected "Deliver to email address"
This email address is a distribution list that consists of several members
Now the notification configuration is like this:
However, notifications aren't delivered to this DL.
I'm wondering what may cause this misbehaving? Or I'm doing something wrong?..
There are different reasons for not receiving email notifications:
Email server might be down, unreachable or rejected authentication
Email was delivered to an unchecked folder
Subscription is disabled or opt-out
Event might not be matching with subscription key filter conditions
Subscription is defined to not send emails to the initiator of an event
Organization level do not deliver setting is impacting email delivery
The team or group level do not deliver setting is impacting email delivery
You're not a member of the group or team receiving the email
You're a member of an Azure Directory (AD) group and the subscription contains a #Me clause
You don't have permission to view the event details, which are included in the email
To check each and every condition and to troubleshoot your settings, consider the below link for walk through the procedure.

How to manage notifications for events to individual members rather than whole team?

One of our managers who is on the team for the project asked how to avoid getting so many emails. Basically, its just myself and another dev that really care anything about getting the email notifications when "something happens". Can I change the default notifications to use just individual email addresses, or do I need to make a new "subscription" in the project settings and then where do I use individual email addresses?

addresses
The default subscriptions cannot be modified, as Matt pointed out in the comment, you can choose to disable default subscriptions, then new subscription, set delivery to individual email addresses. The email gets sent to multiple custom email addresses, which are separated by semicolons.
But a more convenient way is to set Delivery settings.
Deliver to email address: notifications are delivered to a specific
email address.

Email bounced for one recipient

I have a simple SMTP service which sends mails to all my clients. Though all my clients from a particular organization receive my mail, only one individual mail bounces back.
PS : He receives mails from another email client on the same host.
I am unable to figure out if the error is on our side or just the email settings of that particular user.
The error on the bounced mail is:
553:Sender is on user denylist
I Want to be sure before replying to client that the error is on his/her email settings.
Yes, that appears to be a specific block rule on the recipient side.
It looks like they are using McAfee Email Protection. The user or admin will probably need to adjust some settings. According to this page the intended recipient can follow these instructions:
To manage user’s block list navigate to Account Management > Users >
double-click on user > Sender Deny.

Google Apps: E-mails sent to user are also being sent to domain's secondary contact e-mail address

I have two admin users on my newly created domain.
E-mails sent to one are also being sent to the e-mail address set in Domain Settings > General > Contact Information > Secondary E-mail Address. This does not happen to e-mails sent to the other user (the primary domain contact).
I have tried unchecking 'Inherit routes' for this user but it has not made a difference (I waited over five hours between unchecking it and trying again).
Any ideas what could be going on? Thanks very much.
I called Google Apps support and was able to resolve this.
It turns out the person who initially created the domain set up a "receiving routing rule" to automatically forward all e-mails for all users to his personal address.
Receiving routing rules can be adjusted via the Google Apps cPanel. Go to Settings, then Email Settings, then down to Receiving Routing, click Edit, and check your rules to ensure the 'Add more recipients' checkbox is unchecked (mine was checked and had the personal e-mail address set) or simply delete the rule if no other options are set.

How do I make the Drupal default From: e-mail different than the email of the user who receives system e-mails?

I am creating a site that requires admin approval before creating a user account. In Site Information settings I have set the site's e-mail address to "noreply#mysite.com"
New registrants request an account and they correctly get an e-mail From:noreply#mysite.com
No problems there.
However, the useful "Approve New User" e-mail also gets sent to "noreply#mysite.com" when I need it to go to "me#mysite.com." The noreply address is strictly a garbage address I will never check.
So, how do I set up a different email for the default "From:" address and the default system alert e-mail recipient address?
You can use Drupal's hook_mail_alter to intercept the email that gets sent to noreply#mysite.com send it to the desired email address. http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer--hooks--core.php/function/hook_mail_alter/6
It's also possible to do this kind of customization using Triggers and Actions:
http://drupal.org/node/199254
http://drupal.org/documentation/modules/trigger
There is a module, User Registration Notification, that does what I needed. Keep the site e-mail "no-reply" and change the To: value in the module to "me".
