Configure Administrator Notification Recipients

QCFUM’s Core Settings include Admin Notification Recipients and the separate Email admins/custom recipients about new users and invites switch. Administrator-recipient delivery requires that switch to be enabled and at least one valid configured address.

The UI describes comma-separated recipients, while the 2.0.4 parser accepts commas or whitespace, lowercases valid addresses, removes invalid entries, and deduplicates them before use.

Configure the Recipients

  1. Open QCFUM Administrator → Settings → Core Settings.
  2. Enter one or more administrator notification email addresses.
  3. Enable Email admins/custom recipients about new users and invites.
  4. Save Settings.
  5. Trigger a safe workflow that sends an administrator notice and verify Joomla mail delivery.

The Toggle Covers More Than Its Short Label

The same email_admin switch and recipient list are used by QCFUM’s administrator-recipient helper. Current source routes approval-needed notices, automation summaries, approval reminders, email-queue final-failure notices, general administrator activity, and CSV administrator summaries through this configured recipient model.

Invalid or Empty Recipient Lists

QCFUM parses the stored text at send time. Invalid addresses are discarded. If the resulting list is empty, administrator-recipient helpers send nothing even when the toggle is enabled.

Mail Failures and Queueing

When a published template renders and Joomla mail fails, administrator notices can enter QCFUM’s retry queue only when Pro+ email retry is available and Scheduled Automation email retry is enabled. A missing/unpublished template fails before that queue step.

Frontend User Manager Protection Interaction

By default, the Max Frontend User Manager setting Exclude admin notification recipients is enabled. When active, a Joomla user whose email matches one of these configured administrator recipients is treated as a protected frontend-management target. Changing the recipient list can therefore change which accounts are protected.
