During the install, an email address is requested. This email becomes one line of code in some file. The email I used is no longer valid. What is the name of the file in which the initial email is encoded?
If I could only find the correct file, I could edit the email address and re-save the file, correct?
Best,

Hi Sherman,
Information such as that is not usually stored in a file, but is stored in some table in your Moodle database. The easy way to find it, and all the other settings that have anything to do with email - when logged in as admin, in the Administration block, right under Site administration is a search entry box. Enter, email, then click search. On the resulting page, scroll down until you find the email address you want to change.
Hi AL !
I did what you suggested, but nowhere could I find a Yahoo email address.
A long time ago I remember that the initial install email is set into some sort of config file which is part of the brand new Moodle build.
The only fault is minor. I get "could not deliver" error messages from my Moodle each time it tries to announce a new version.
Thanks for your kind reply.
Sherman
Hi Sherman,
The only email entry during set up that I can recall is the email address for the first admin user and the email address you enter when registering your site.
In the first case, you would need to edit the profile of the admin user.
In the second case, under the Administration block go to Site administration > Registration and scroll down to, Email address.
There is a possibility that you used the config-dist.php file to create your site config.php file when you first created your Moodle installation. It does have a few other email possibilities in it. Just look in your actual config.php and see if there are any email entries there. If so, just try commenting them out.
Thank you AL !
I inspected config.php but there is no email in there.
For the life of me I can't figure who the email sender is.
I'd fix it if I could, but I just don't have enough knowledge.
So i receive a "junk" email bounce message every time moodle.org announces an update. Just something to get used to.
Thank you!
