Greenlight: setting ALLOW_MAIL_NOTIFICATIONS=false in Approval mode

[makayabou]

Hello,
I have the following in my .env:
ALLOW_MAIL_NOTIFICATIONS=false and SMTP_SERVER configured.
Users can ask for an account creation, without receiving a first veryfying email before the approval.
BUT they can't reset their password.

This double behavior is unclear in the doc:
# Set this to true if you want GreenLight to send verification emails upon
# the creation of a new account

I agree that separating the ability to send emails and the requirement to verify your email is the better option here.

In Addition to that:

When setting

ALLOW_MAIL_NOTIFICATIONS=true

All users, registered in the period where this was false, have to verify their account, otherwise their rooms are not working. Right now there is no option for that.

Workaround: The user has to reset their working password. The password-reset-mechanism also verifies the account.

We have the same problem, and can't switch to "true" because a lot of people already registered before without this flag to "true".
There is a solution to have the Reset password link, even with ALLOW_MAIL_NOTIFICATIONS=false ? (or at least, to not force previous registered users to confirm their account email)

Yes please, we changed this in our installation and didn't realise that this wasn't the case. There was a lot of confusion and a few tickets were raised ;) Would be great to have this separation in the configuration :+1:

Same issue here. I need the forget password option, while it dosen't need to send verification emails to users.

Any update ?
