Add/Modify the admin email address in CWP

CentOS WebPanel doesn’t set an admin email at the installation time. So you will need to set the admin/root email after the installation is complete. When logging in CWP you will see a warning message: WARNING! Your root Email address for notifications isn’t set.. 

To set up/modify the admin/root email:

  1. Go to yourdomain.com:2087 and log in as root
  2. Navigate to CWP Settings->Edit Settings
  3. Look for the Admin Email field and enter the desired email address. It’s also a good idea to check the option Forward server system emails.
  4. Click the Save Changes button.
  5. You will see a notification message: Data Updated. Also, if you enabled the forwarning option, another message will be: root forwarder file detected, all root emails are forwarded to: email@domain.com 
cwp admin password

If you prefer, you can set/edit the root email address by editing the file /usr/local/apache/conf/sharedip.conf

    our all emails require SMTP login to be used anywhere. How to set SMTP login details for this admin email. The emails starts going to spam folder after some time because CWP uses only email address to create email and various email services considered it as masked email.
