Hi @megatronic79, we’re planning to move the vast majority of settings, including config, out of files and into the database, where they can be managed using an Admin Console, here’s the early design: Preview: Admin Console
We’ll have an “Email Settings” page in the wizard to setup the variables you’re working on. Here’s the early specification: Preview: Admin Console
If you’ve changed the template for now, that’s probably an okay fix for a test deployment rather than changing the config settings, since those will be changing.
By the way, if you’d like to speak with the Mattermost team on Hangouts sometime, just let us know a time and we’d love to hear any feedback you have beyond the forum discussion: Hangouts with the Mattermost team
