sending memails on error no server username/password

I'm trying to get cfwheels to send me an email, but I can't send an email
without a username and password

errorEmailAddress and errorEmailServer but no errorEmailPassword or
errorEmailUsername (or from)

I see this has been an issue since 2009
https://code.google.com/p/cfwheels/issues/detail?id=55

any idea on how to get this working?
