After some users have had issues recently, I've finally gotten around to putting in place a better solution for outbound email from this instance. It now sends out via Amazon SES, rather than directly from our OVH VPS.

The result is emails should actually get to more people now, rather than being blocked by over-enthusiastic spam filters... looking at you Outlook and Gmail.

Right at this moment, we have a regular Melbourne user trying to reset a password/recover account. Receiving that reset notification has been a challenge. Not every user even has their email configured in their account, it's optional. It is sorta necessary for account recovery, however.

Through this process, I've learned that the user table in the database is basically what you see on the settings page. Yes, I can see which of you crazy people choose a light theme, but I'm not judging! You do you.
