I feel like I’m going a little crazy here, but I’ve left my site alone for a few months and finally went to grab some updates - my docker is outdated, so attempting to run

```plaintext
./launcher rebuild app

```

However, I am getting a warning saying  
`"Aborting! Mail is not configured!";`

So I go look in my app.yml, and all of my smtp settings are back to defaults. Where I’m confused is - shouldn’t this have prevented the community from functioning? At the very least, no new sign ups, lost passwords, etc? My stats are showing that I’ve had 26 new signups in the last week.

How did this get reset? What am I missing? Did my git pull stomp my servers old app.yml?
