The discussion Backups - which email? revolves around Olle11 experiencing issues with receiving a backup email for their Discourse forum. pfaffman clarifies that the backup email is sent to the user who requested it, and RGJ suggests checking the Admin - Email Settings.
After investigating, RGJ determines that Olle11’s mail server is not correctly configured, resulting in a Net::SMTPAuthenticationError. To resolve this, RGJ advises changing the email settings in app.yml and rebuilding the forum.
However, Olle11 faces another issue: their admin email address is not receiving the backup email, and they cannot change it without verifying from their current email address. RGJ provides a solution, sharing a link to a guide on changing the staff email address from the console. Ultimately, Olle11 resolves the issue by discovering they had signed up with a different email address than the one configured on the server.
So the email adress I have as admin/user on my forum is my personal email. The backup email will not reach this address. I cant change email neither because I have to verify from my current email address but the email will not reach.
What do I need to do in order to change the email address so I can recieve the backup?
