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

```plaintext
./launcher destroy app 
./launcher start app

```
