Thank you for your reply.

The lockout can be triggered by setting the wp-cerber lockout fields as follows:

• Limit on the allowed number of alerts = 0
• Lockout notification (send notification if the number of active lockouts above) = 0

Then,
try repeatedly requesting https://example.com/info.php (a non-existent PHP file).
This should trigger the lockout.
Could you please confirm this?

@aqibkhan9

Thank you for confirming.
Could you specifically explain me how you conducted the tests?

Did you simply click “Click to send test” in the Lockout notification? Or did you actually perform suspicious activities multiple times to trigger the lockout notification?

The error actually occurs not with the test send, but with the lockout notification that is triggered in real situations.

Here are the test results.

Thank you for reply.

The specified field already has an email address entered. In that state, the above error occurs.

Looking at the code where the error occurs,
$transports = $this->getTransports();
seems to become null.

When sending emails other than the wp-cerber lockout email, the above does not become null.
Could you think of any reasons why it sometimes becomes null and sometimes does not?
