If you were comfortable SSH'ing to the server and editing the file (you'll need to sudo since I think that's a root owned config file, the core user won't be able to edit it) - the DEFAULT_EMAIL is set in /opt/forem/envs/rails.env about half way down. If you change this, you'll want to restart all services using foremctl to reload the env file values, it's only read when the services start up.

I don't think this requires reloading the systemd services (since you're editing the environment and not the service config itself).
