Installing via install script and configuring SMTP, the "no-reply email address" can be left empty. Leaving it empty does however make the pangolin service unhealthy and stops activation of gerbil and traefik services.

The error is displayed in docker compose logs and can be fixed by manually editing the config file. However, as these installation scripts usually are meant to have an easier way than manually doing everything, I would suggest one of the following options:

Add hint from install docs to the install script as well: "This is the sender email address that Pangolin will email from. Many times this should be the same as the username."
Set default of no-reply email address to be the username
