How to I change the notification email for proxmox VE? I don't want or need to change the users email address or the FROM address, I am referring to the recipient or send to address?

Thanks,
Allen
 
By default, i.e. through the mail-to-root target, and for legacy notifications, the email address of the root@pam account is used as target, so you can edit that user (Datacenter -> Users) to set a new fallback.

Last time I did that it disabled the user and I was locked out!

Then you toggled the enable checkbox before confirming the edit. As just changing the email address definitively does not lock you out, as that address is not used at all from our permission system...
 
Excellent, and if I accidentally do that again, how do I re-enable? I think last time I just SSH'ed in and ran a command.

In general, it's recommended to have another way to access your servers, that can be SSH, an IPMI/iKVM remote console or just physical access.

So ensure you got that extra access channel before editing anything and then, if you disable the user by mistake, you can unlock it again using a root shell and executing:

Code: 
pveum user modify root@pam --enable 1
