SMTP - test email goes always to admin@example.net?

Added by Pav ata 8 days ago

Hi guys.
When I try to send a test email Redmine always makes to '' - is this correct?
Also - if devel read here - 'Emission email address' is bit ambiguous in my mind.
In today nomenclature it usually is "sender" or "recipient" - I presume it's 'sender', right? But.. then how does that relate to what is in configuration.yml in "mail_delivery => user_name" ?
thanks, L.

The test email is send to the email address of the current user. The default admin user has a default email address if ``. When logged in with the default `admin` user, you can change its email address at the *My Account page.

The emission address is the email address set in the From field (i.e. the sender address) of sent emails. With many email services, this address corresponds to the user name (and password) you need to provide to be able to sent email. In others, this can be freely configured.

In the configuration.yml file, you configure the SMTP-level credentials for the used email server, i.e. the hostname of the SMTP serveras well as the username/password required to authenticate to this server.

See EmailConfiguration for more details.
