Plugin configuration in the job:

• Abort the build if it's stuck
• Time-out strategy: No Activity (180 seconds)
• Time-out actions: Fail the build
• Post-build step: e-mail notification for each instable build

Expected result: e-mail is sent if build is failed via time-out plugin.

Actual result: no e-mail is sent.

On GitHub you asked me for the config.xml. I have no idea how to get that, I am a Jenkins user with admin rights but have no access to the host on the command line.

The end of the job output looks like this:

Build timed out (after 3 minutes). Marking the build as failed.
Build was aborted
channel stopped
Finished: FAILURE
