SMTP user name is not a email address

How do I...
#1

I have the following error:

[2017-11-08 15:26:06] DEBUG: Invalid address: AKIAIBEX3YSEYYK3VDMZW []

Does UserFrosting require that the SMTP user name to always be the email address? In my case this is not so, because I use Amazon AWS SES and the user name is that sequence of letters you see in the log. Is it possible to configure the email address separately?

#2

Emails are sent from the “admin email address”, which is configured in the core configuration file:

...
    'address_book' => [
        'admin' => [
            'email' => getenv('SMTP_USER') ?: null,
            'name'  => 'Site Administrator'
        ]
    ],

As you can see, by default it does indeed use the SMTP_USER environment variable. So, all you need to do is override this in your Sprinkle’s config file.

Nice! I’m just starting to use this framework but I already love it, it is well structured, clean and very flexible. Thank you for this great product!
