Public bug reported:

I am using Mahara 1.3.3 clean install on shared hosting with
inmotionhosting.  Everything works, but my emails sent by mahara are
getting blocked.  I had the same problem with my moodle installation,
but was able to configure it with SMTP email and a defined, working
noreply address. However, this is not working with mahara.

I have defined the cfg->noreplyaddress directive and ensured it's
pointing to the correct address.  However, in the database config file,
it wasn't picked up, instead pointing to noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (I
use subdomains to separate the various applications on the server) which
was the default probably put in before I set it in the config file
myself.  So I changed the config file back to match what's in the
database, again checking all the credentials, authentication, and that
that email address can send/receive mail.

So I created several dummy accounts with any other email address I have,
and it works on the user creation on roaming over via mnet and I get the
email with the correct noreply setting.

The database didn't pick up a noreplyaddress change in the config, and
instead kept the original value.  Once I made the database and the
config file match, all was ok.  But I shouldn't have to have gone
digging into the database once fixing the config file-- so that's a bug.
