Description of problem: If the system registered has a package update in some errata, then the admin of that system will start getting emails in each 5 min. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite-5.4.0-RHEL5-re20100910.2 How reproducible: Always on the systems registered to the Red Hat basic channel where it has at least one errata update. Steps to Reproduce: 1. make a RHEL5 system registration 2. apply zsh (4.2.6-1) 3. As there is newer version of zsh in the scopes of errata: RHBA-2009:0463-2 the one who registered the system would start receiving emails in each 5 min. Actual results: emails about "RHN Satellite Errata Alert: RHBA-2009:0463-2 - zsh bug fix update" each 5 min. Expected results: Email on daily basis (as one used to see in older satellite 530) Additional info:
Garik, So i was not able to reproduce this error. Could you please point me to a reproducer? One thing that you could be seeing is that an email is sent per user per org. So if your email address is used to create users in multiple orgs, and there is a system in each org affected by an errata, you will recieve an email for each org. It seemed like the errata mailer sending was extremely slow, so I speed it up here which should appear on the next iso: 06541d2ef7cb34674c76e1c45c3ecbc17d68e61f Can you confirm that you weren't just receiving an email for each org? Thanks! -Justin
hi Justin, right now (when i yesterday switched off globally the email notifications) I'm not able to get them reproduced when switched back the options again... But no, I used my email in only one Org and got several times the same errata update notification for the same system (did not do the re registration)... So - hope to got it reproduced in next week (on fresh satellite setup)... br, Garik.
oh - I'm happy man, just got the second email (after 48 minutes of getting the first one). the reason of this "delay" I assume is the fact that system is doing satellite-sync a rhel6 channel now. when finish: I expect more frequent sendings ;) so, Justin, I'm reopening this issue and assigning your email address (there would be also the information of the satellite, system, etc.) to my admin account. feel free to refer to me in case of questions. thanks. Garik.

I got only one email. However only for RHSA, and not for RHBA. But that is tracked by BZ 630884. Sync that RHSA notification is not sent every 5 min. I'm suggesting to VERIFY this one.
