Submission Acknowledgement sent to editors

Software Support
1

Describe the issue or problem
The Submission Acknowledgement email is sent to both the author and the editor when an editor is added as section editor of a section. Why is that? Can that be opted out?

Steps I took leading up to the issue

  1. Add a guest or section editor.
  2. Assign the editor to a section
  3. Submit a submission to the journal and that section
  4. Two emails are sent out
    a) NOTIFICATION to the editor(s)
    b) SUBMISSION_ACK to the author AND to the editor(s)

What application are you using?
OJS 3.3.0-13

I don’t know if that is relevant, but these are my config.inc.php email settings:

allow_envelope_sender = On
default_envelope_sender = no-reply@journal.se
force_default_envelope_sender = On
force_dmarc_compliant_from = On
dmarc_compliant_from_displayname = '%n via %s'
time_between_emails = 3600
max_recipients = 10
require_validation = Off
validation_timeout = 14
