Configure QCLF Administrator Notification Email Addresses

QCLF uses the Admin Notification Email Addresses setting for event recipient role admin. These are external email recipients, separate from Joomla user-based recipient roles.

Each configured administrator address receives its own notification copy; QCLF does not expose the other configured addresses through a shared To/Cc/Bcc list.

Configure Administrator Recipients

  1. Open Components > QC Live Forum > Email.
  2. In Admin Notification Email Addresses, enter one or more addresses separated by commas, semicolons, spaces, or new lines.
  3. Select Save Admin Notification Emails.
  4. Trigger a safe administrator-recipient test event or use a template Send Test separately to verify Joomla Mail transport.

Parsing and Deduplication

The saved setting is parsed at notification time. QCLF accepts syntactically valid email addresses, ignores invalid entries, and deduplicates addresses case-insensitively before resolving administrator recipients.

Separate Copies Protect Recipient Privacy

Each administrator email is resolved as its own external recipient record with on-site delivery disabled for that external address. QCLF therefore sends independent copies rather than revealing the configured administrator list to recipients.

No Automatic Joomla-Administrator Fallback

The admin event role uses this configured address list. An empty list does not automatically substitute every Joomla Super User email address. Configure the addresses that should receive QCLF operational/admin notifications.

Queued Delivery Revalidates the Setting

If an administrator address is removed after a notification is queued but before delivery, QCLF rechecks the current configured list and suppresses that stale administrator delivery instead of sending to the removed address.
