Question:
Can an automatic Mail be send after a finished userimport?
Answer:
Using the self-service invitation service an automatic email is send after user creation.
In UCS, when a user is created with Locked Login applied (a set PasswordRecoveryEmail and pwdChangeNextLogin=1) the listener module selfservice-invitation.py in cooperation with a daemon will send an invitation email to the user.
In UCS@school this automatism is most likely not desired.

Question
Can I customize the subject of the self service password reset mail?
Answer
Yes, but as far as the feature request 53227 is not fixed, not update-safe and only by code customization.

msg["Subject"] = "My own password-reset subject"

It might happen that you use this option, but the users receive no such email. The reasons might be quite diverse, but this article should help to track this down.
