Remove/Deactivation of the E-Mail-Server functionality

[Ch3ck3rM0n]

Hi Team,

I have been used Nextcloud since v17 (so a long time) on web storage of my provider. To save money I decided now to move the Nextcloud form the external provider server to my internal home server, which is also available from the internet. The transfer worked well and my Nextcloud is still available over web. At home I do not have a private mail server.

So now I have the problem, that I still get from Nextcloud the warning/error message in logs and overview what the "E-Mail-Server" configured under "Generals" is not setup. It tells me I need to set it up to get mails for example for passwort reset.

The clue is, I don't need that feature to my nextcloud. I have fully controll of the whole server and in anykind of trouble like passwort reset and so on, I do fix it on Linux console. This "E-Mail-Server"-feature makes sense to people who are using more user and manage Nextcloud out of the GUI, but not for me and the everyday warning is annoying.

So please give me/us an option to remove or just disable it, so we don't get any warnings in the logs/overview anymore.

Thanks in advance.

Manuel

I guess you can use the null mailtransport as soon as Nextcloud 31 is released: #48977

Haven't tested this, but should also just be able to "fake" the test result by setting the emailTestSuccessful app (core) value to 1 according to the test:

server/apps/settings/lib/SetupChecks/EmailTestSuccessful.php

Line 41 in 3822db5

if ($this->config->getAppValue('core', 'emailTestSuccessful', '') === '0') {

... via occ config:app:set
