Forum validation emails sent to another email address

[dyna123]

We would like to have the forum validation emails come to a different email address than the board incoming email address.

Currently the board incoming email address is set to our organization's general inbox, which we would like to keep that way. However, we have a particular person that handles the forum registration process. We'd like to have the forum validation emails come to this individual's email address. I believe the older IPB versions had this capability.

I believe the older IPB versions had this capability.

I don't believe so - I don't recall any options related to this being removed in 3.x

Yes, you could specify an email address to use for admin validation. I know for a fact because we were using a different email address than the incoming board address.

It may have been in 2.x.

Just add a filter to redirect selected mails at the CPanel level.

I just searched my 2.3.x ACP and there is no separate option to send validation emails to. The only email options in the system settings are "board incoming email address" and "board outgoing email address".

Maybe you installed a modification on 2.3.x to add that capability?

Ok I did some major digging and it looks like what we used to do is just comma separate multiple email addresses in the incoming email address box.

Thanks for your help! We'll just continue to do it this way.
