Email integration not working

Hello, I tried enabling the email confirmation that asmbb offers however it did not work for me.

I tried both with setting it to connect to a server (running, in this case, on a "LAN" address). I tested said address with msmtp and know that it is working (though it is actually a "proxy" to another server this is beside the point).

I also tried with the "Pipe the emails through:" option using msmtp (ssmtp and sendmail appear to be unmaintained). Tested msmtp using command line, definitely works. Msmtp also creates a ".msmtp.log" when it tries to send emails. No such file is created in instances where asmbb should be sending email (at account registration or when changing email addresses) indicating that asmbb is not even making an attempt.

I noticed there wasn't much documentation on what to put in which field, so I tested multiple configurations (about 17 of them), none of which resulted in any sent emails. Also setting to many of them resulted in asmbb crashing.

Any guidance on what to do next, so as to make it work?

While one benefit of email integration is to prevent spam accounts, it is also useful for forgotten passwords. It seems that changing a given user's forgotten password is not possible?
