    while in the System Config section - first tab is Sites, next is Mail - after clicking on the Mail tab, user can't leave the Mail tab as it keeps asking for the Admin name and email for SMTP sending (even if you don't want to use that). Have to click the Main Config choice in the left menu to get out of it.

    Also, it's titled System Config at the top of the page, but it's called Main Config in the left menu - should they be the same?

    This is required information; it's not optional, that's why you can't skip it.

    We should probably rename it.

    not arguing, just pointing out that in ISPConfig Version: 3.2.12p1 it doesn't behave the same way.
    and it's really only required if you want to use that feature (which is checked by default after fresh install, but that data isn't requested during install)
    so i'm guessing in 3.2.12p1 it's failing to verify the data that the checkbox indicates should be there, and in 3.3.0p3 that was fixed

    so maybe either using SMTP shouldn't be checked by default, or that required information should be collected during setup?
    either way, i only stumbled on it while I was poking through looking at changes - wasn't an issue for me, just pointing out what I found, that's all.

    thanks for the responses!

    This is not about SMTP settings. It's about requiring an admin email address and name as this is used in all kinds of functions, from user notifications to 2FA for the main admin account. And yes, we might collect such details or set some default values there in future.
