Hi guys, this is related to the topic above, but the solution in that topic is wrong.
whenever I click on the 'debug' tab in wpForo, wpForo is sending an email out as per the following code
$email = "test@example.com";
$subject = "Email Test";
$message = "This is a mail testing email function on server";
if( ! wp_mail( $email, $subject, $message ) ) {
$issues['email']['wp_mail']['level'] = 3;
$issues['email']['wp_mail']['message'] = __( 'WordPress Email sending function wp_mail() doesn\'t work!', 'wpforo' );
$issues['email']['wp_mail']['solution'] = __( 'In most cases this is a server issue. We recommend you contact to your hosting service support team or open a support topic in wordpress.org support forum. Also there are many good articles regarding this issue in web. For example ', 'wpforo' ) . ' - <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-wordpress-not-sending-email-issue/">' . __( 'How to Fix WordPress Not Sending Email Issue', 'wpforo' ) . '</a>';
This is the code in the /admin/tools-tabs/debug.php file, so this is a specific wpForo issue.
Do you have any plans to replace the $email with a variable that contains the email used by admins?
Thanks

See above for context.
Pinging you directly as I have seen you active recently.
Have you had the chance to look at the request above please?
I believe this issue has had a real impact on my site: recently I had database issues (see other recent ticket).
To check for any problems I went into the wpForo Debug tab, which is when the email to test@example is generated.
My hosting provider blocked outbound emails around that time, and one reason they may have done it, is email messages bounced back from test@example were seen as spam attemps from me: not nice!
Thanks,

The error message already provides details about the issue. I'm sorry, but there is nothing that we can provide you here.
@sofy we're not understanding each other.
Please read the first post. Do you see the code?
$email = "test@example.com";
You guys have hard-coded test@example.com into your plugin. Whenever the Debug tab is selected, an email is sent to test@example.com (which of course doesn't exist, and is bounced back).
Are you saying this is normal behavior??
