Contact email

Support address the script uses for staff contact and as a domain fallback for outbound From.

Settingcontact_email

Contact email

Address used as the site’s support/contact mailbox for staff-facing flows and as a domain fallback when building outbound From addresses.

Where to find it

Admin → Settings → Settings (first tab) → Site identity → Contact email

Setting key: contact_email

Typical value: support@yourdomain.com

How it works

Use a mailbox you actually read. It is not the same as Email from address (outbound From), though they can match.

The mailer may use this domain when email_from is only a local-part (example: noreply + contact domain).

Common problems

Users write here and nobody answers

Wrong mailbox or aggressive filters. Point it at a shared inbox you monitor.

Confused with From address

Contact = where people reach you. From = what appears on mail the script sends. Set both on purpose.
