I have a couple of test sites running Discourse just with IP’s at present and I have been testing Elastic Email (EE). Seems ok so far but I haven’t done the domain verification SPF stuff yet. I want to change the admin email address but it’s an email address that is being “suppressed”, not bounced…

What’s wrong with impersonating the other admin account? Just press impersonate.

Or if you just want to change the email, you can deactivate that account, change the email, and activate it again. Not sure if this still works but you can try… But if you already have an admin account you can do anything. You don’t really need to use the original account. There isn’t anything you…
