No chance to change the notification email

AI-generated summary

Asored is experiencing issues with changing the notification email in their Discourse installation. Despite updating the app.yml file and restarting the container, the old email address is still being used. Asored also couldn’t find the notification email setting in the Admin Area of the UI. Stephen suggested that changes in app.yml require a rebuild, and provided a solution to resolve the issue by running ./launcher destroy app and ./launcher start app. Asored confirmed that this solution worked.

Hi there, after searching a while here in the forum, I have to create a new thread. I have strange issues regarding the notification email. On the installation, I’ve added an email address which is not supported from my email server and I try to change this email address now.

  1. I changed the email address in /containers/app.yml. But after restarting the container (./launcher restart app) I see in the logs that still the old email address is used to send emails: 553 5.7.1 <old@email.com>: Sender address rejected: not owned by user someone. The change did not applied.

  2. I read that I can find the setting for the notification email in the Admin Area of the UI. So I thought: “Okay. Seems to be in the database”. But in the admin settings, I cannot find a setting for “notification email”. Just not exists.

I’m using the version: 2.9.0.beta9. It’s the version that automatically installed following the official guide.

Is there a reason why changing the notification email does not work and any setting not appears in the admin area?

Thanks a lot for your assistance!

Changes in the app.yml usually require a rebuild to pick up.

The environment variables are the exception, you can resolve the above with

./launcher destroy app 
./launcher start app
