Email SMTP Configuration Bug

Permalink March 16, 2015 at 5:38 PM

I believe I have found a bug in the Email SMTP settings.

I was changing the email method to SMTP and set the username in the Dashboard settings to donotreply@my-domain.org. When I tested the settings I received an error stating that user concrete5-noreply@my-domain.org was not a valid user.

I was able to fix this on my installation by editing the Email Settings section of concrete/config/concrete.php where concrete5-noreply@ was indeed set as the user.

I don't know if this bug is specific to my installation but thought I'd mention it here. Also, will my edit be wiped by an upgrade?

Version Installed - 5.7.3.1

Update: Apparently, my manual edit was overwritten by subsequent updates to Concrete5. I am currently working around this issue by using concrete5-noreply@my-domain.org but setting the username in Concrete5 to noreply@my-domain.org.
