Hi,

Email-ext plugin is not sending mail is the build is failed but there is no change in the source code. Build might be failed for environmental issues. I get following exception in Jenkins log

I expect mail to be sent irrespective of source code changes. We also have few jobs which is for testing they do not have source code management system.

Thanks,
