[SOLVED] Change mail from which the mails come out

Post by jfarre »

Hello

How can we change the mail from which the forum mails are sent.
For example when someone forgets the psw.
The forum sends an email with a return address to remake the psw.
How do I change the sender's email?

Thank you

in your admin panel under email settings.

create an email account on your hosting control panel specifcally for your board.
then use that account for any and all email settings on the board.

Thanks Robert

What does it mean?
ACP/messages/cnfg. client, cnfg. email/
contact email
source email
?
I have found this solution.
Although I would like to be sure that we have changed the main mail.
At the moment I have gone to the super user and I have been able to change the login and the mail, but I have the doubt if there is something else.
Is there a way to make another user super administrator?

not sure what you are describing there.
I see nothing like
ACP/messages/cnfg. client, cnfg. email/
contact email
source email
in the admin panel.
however, there is a section called email settings.

there put your board email in both blanks.
also, you should probably use your board email for your admin account email.

choose no for the setting to use smtp unless you have a specific reason to set it to yes.

the only thing close to a "super user" is the founder account that the person who installs the board has.
the founder account has access to everything. when you install you are also put in the global moderator group.

the only thing that being an admin or being in the administrator group does is give the user access to the admin panel.

and yes, you can create as many accounts as you wish. you can then put them in whatever groups you wish.
you can make someone an admin by putting them in the admin group.
you can make someone a moderator by putting them in the moderator group.
you, as founder, can also make someone a founder.

remember, everyone that is registered is in the registered user group.
then people can be put in or removed from other groups as needed.

Be warned though, the only person who can delete a founder is another founder so think long and hard before you make someone else a founder.

Email settings can be found in ACP > General > Email Settings

If you mean founder, then yes. Click on their profile, then click Administer User, and under the field that says Founder, click yes. If you want them to just be a standard Admin though, you should just put them in the Administrators group though. ACP > Users and Groups > Manage Groups > Administrators > Members > And type their username in the Add Users section.

Are you doing this because you want another person's eyes on the ACP to make sure the settings were changed in the way you wanted?

Because:

This means that that person can effectively take over your board and can make a mess that can be somewhat difficult to clean up.
