------------------------------------------------------------------
In a nutshell:
Task retries, on_failure callback, and email_on_failure are not honored if the
first task in a DAG fails. The bug presents itself when task retries are
enabled and the first task in a DAG run fails one time. If this happens, then
retries are not honored on the task that only failed one time. The task will be
left in a permanent "UP_FOR_RETRY" state. As a result, failure hooks will not
be executed for that failed task including email notification that the task
failed.

Hi [~adudczaAre you sure that emailing is actually working?
The attempt to email won't be logged under your dag/task logs, but whereever
you get system logs.
An easy way to test if email is working on your system is to set up the email
operator and then call it via "airflow test your_email_task 2016-05-11". The
email config is in airflow.cfg.

> Hello.
> I created the following workflow :
> {code}
> from airflow import DAG
> from airflow.operators import PythonOperator
> from datetime import datetime, timedelta
> from airflow.models import Variable
> from time import sleep
> default_args = {
> 'depends_on_past': False,
> 'start_date': datetime(2016, 5, 11, 15, 20),
> 'email': <my email>
> 'email_on_failure': True,
> 'email_on_retry': False,
> 'retries': 1,
> 'retry_delay': timedelta(minutes=2),
> 'end_date': datetime(2016, 5, 11, 16, 00),
> }
> PARENT_DAG_NAME = 'test'
> dag = DAG(PARENT_DAG_NAME, default_args=default_args,
> schedule_interval=timedelta(minutes=10))
> def sleep1_function(**kwargs):
> sleep(90)
> return Variable.get('test_var')
> sleep1 = PythonOperator(
> task_id='sleep1',
> python_callable=sleep1_function,
> dag=dag)
> {code}
> I forgot to declare test_var so when this DAG launched it failed quickly.
> However no failure email was ever sent. Clearing the failed task to make it
> rerun doesn't trigger any email.
