Remove use of "admin.com" default admin user email

[timptner]

Describe the feature you'd like

Instead of using admin.com as default domain better us example.com or example.org. The domain admin.com resolves to a privately owned website whereas example.com and example.org are special domains, which are valid and provided by ICANN for testing purposes.

When a user logs in the first time on a fresh install of BookStack with the default admin credentials and tests the email settings one will successfully send an email but also get a bounce from admin@admin.com. This is bad for the reputation of the email server (either self hosted or third party service).

To solve this issue it's a better solution to use admin@example.com because when sending emails to this address the email will get successfully send and delivered.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

Testing email delivery on a fresh install will not result in a bounced email.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Changing the default mail address of the admin user to a personal mail address.

This feature request will prevent bounced emails even if a user forgets to change the mail address before testing email settings.

Thanks for raising @timptner.
I'm going to close this in favour of centralising things in #4575, where a plan is put forward and tracked against for moving away from the existing default credential handling.
