I’ve installed Discourse in Azure following the instructions [here](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md) and [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-setup-discourse-on-azure/89550). We have an enterprise account with SendGrid which we can’t authenticate to the [azure.com](http://azure.com) domain, so I’ve tried changing the Discourse From: address using the instructions [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/troubleshooting-email-on-a-new-discourse-install/16326):
```plaintext
./launcher enter app
rails r "SiteSetting.notification_email = 'adam.pope@arup.com'"
exit
```
Still no email; so I checks the logs, and ta-da…:
> `An attempt was to change notification_email SiteSetting to adam.pope@arup.com however it is shadowed so this will be ignored!`
What we do in the shadows to warrant this snub from Discourse?

Sorry. Those instructions need to be updated. Now `discourse-setup` ~~asks for it~~ silently sets it to `noreply@hostname` and sets `DISCOURSE_NOTIFICATION_EMAIL` in the `app.yml` file.
So edit it there.
