Softaculous

Topic : Address is used for script install notifications

Posted By: avantsi on February 23, 2015, 10:47 pm

I need to change the E-mail address to which Softaculous sends notificaitons about new Script installs / removals and "Script updates available".
All our cpanel accounts have 2 contact E-mails: Our email (email1) and customer's personal email.

Now, we wanted to change email1 to email2. We modified (API) all the cpanel accounts and set contact email to "email2" and customer's personal email.

I' have also set the reseller's contact email to email2.

I hoped this would be it, but unfortunately it wasn't. Most emails are still sent to email1 but some actually come to email2. I cant figure out the pattern, as all the accounts have email2 set for contact. Email1 is nowhere to be found in our cPanel or WHM settings anymore.

Am I missing something here? Which E-mail address is Softaculous really using for notifications?

Thanks!

Hi,

Softaculous 1st tries to search for an email if it is saved from Softaculous Enduser panel -> Email Settings

and if it does not exist Softaculous will fetch the email address of the cPanel account.

So if the email is sent to email1 then it looks like these users might have saved the settings.

Please check the following file if it contains your email :
/home/*/.softaculous/user.php

If it does please open this file unserialize the string and replace your email with the user's email and serialize the array and write it to the user's file.

Thank you! All the users had that file with email1 inside. I already did search/replace and it works like expected.
