Hey, folks! 
I’m going nuts here.
I’m trying to get e-mail notifications working over SMTP with MS Exchange. I’ve followed the instructions for connecting to Exchange without authentication and was able to successfully send e-mail through the Ruby console and through the GitLab admin area. But so far repository activity has never generated an e-mail notification to anyone.
How do I debug e-mail functionality in GitLab?
I tried looking at all of the /var/log/gitlab/* logs I could find and don’t see any SMTP activity. I must not be looking for the right thing, right?
Thanks in advance!
Okay, I finally found e-mails being logged in the production.log file.
What about when repo activities trigger e-mails? Where is that being logged?
Email notifications have multiple scopes and can be configured at the global, group, project level.

You can test sending emails properly using the rails console
https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/smtp.html#testing-the-smtp-configuration
Details will be captured in /var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/production.log, as you’ve already discovered

Thank you for your reply, @gitlab-greg !
Well then, it seems that I need to dig a little deeper. I will try to remember to update this conversation when I figure out what the problem is.
