Hey, 

I tried to change the administrator e-mail in settings => site details but it still uses my privat e-mail instead of the e-mail which I wrote in the field.


Am I doing anything wrong?

Best Regards,

which type of mail handler you have set up in mail settings of forum admin panel ?
have you got above referred email id through mail configuration at web host panel ?

I use php sentmail.
I created the e-mail via web panel from my webspace.

Quote:it still uses my private e-mail

where is that private email added ?

It's added to the/used by intial administrator account/my account

Anybody know a solution?

Will you please check the configuration for Additional Parameters for PHP's mail() in AdminCP > Configuration > Board Settings > Mail Settings, if your forum currently uses PHP mail.

all on default.



It should use [email protected] but instead it uses my private e-mail which gets rejected by the webspace.

Hmm.. the cause might be you've set a Return Email in Board details.

There may be two ways to have it sorted and either way should work:

• Leave Return Email blank; This means probably you won't get bounced mails.
  
• Add some parameters to Additional Parameters for PHP's mail() in AdminCP > Configuration > Board Settings > Mail Settings, for example:
  

  [email protected]

It works with the parameter now thanks
