I have just looked at my register.php file and noticed there is a strange email address in it: account@greatinnovus.com

Now I am not sure why this particular address is there, however it is in the 'CC' field on the email a new user receives - the one with the link in it to validate their account.

This means that everytime someone signs up to your site account@greatinnovus.com receives notification and a link for them to go to your site and validate the address.

Can any of the Devs let us know what this address is for?

What I do like is that it now acts as a 'New User Notification'. I changed it and made the field a 'BCC' as per below:

On or aound line 151 Change:

Code:
nCC: account@greatinnovus.com\r\nX-Priority: 1\r\n";
to:

Code:
nBCC: you@yoursite.com\r\nX-Priority: 1\r\n";
replacing you@yoursite.com with the email you wish to receive notifications to.

Everytime a new user signs up you will receive the same email they do. I then set my email client to put emails to that address in a specific folder, if you don't want this you I assume you could remove the email address completely or replace it with a dummy one.

I don't see it in my regeister.php. Is that company your webhosting company/did you take the setup from them? Update- i also don't see it in the default register.php.
