Misbehaviour of Welcomebot and Restricted Direct Message Setting in Server

[GOhrner (Gunter Ohrner)]

did you pick the welcomebot plugin version correctly? Checking github I see the latest version is 1.2.0 which should work with Mattermost server 5.12.0+

Sorry, typo - I have 1.2.0 installed. I somehow confused the version number with the version of another installed plugin.
Marketplace says that the WelcomeBot plugin is up to date.

From documentation the welcomebot must be enabled for each team in config.json. Is that configured?

Yes, WelcomeBot is activated for the team in question.

I fear that probable most instanced don’t have "RestrictDirectMessage": "team" enabled…
