Are you using mail receiver for inbound emails? have you followed the howto properly? [תמונה] eextra: Why can’t I click and check this email? because that email does not exist on discourse.

Self-Hosting When troubleshooting issues or errors with Discourse it is important you look at your logs. Here’s a listing of where they are and what’s in there.

Thanks. I have one more question for you. If I set the mx records for receiving a message (rejected/bounced) to my own email (which means I won’t be able to see them in the admin panel) then will work correctly answering by email / writing new topics by email?

[תמונה] itsbhanusharma: no it won’t. since discourse can’t see those emails. So I have to choose: or this useful function of answering / writing via email or the possibility of conveniently receiving and replying to e-mails to/from a private mailbox? If so, it is best if from the level of discourse/mail-receiver to possibility immediately reply (such a small mail client) because we have to choose either this or that Do I get it right?

For reply-by-email, If you’re using POP3 Polling then you can technically use the same mailbox for other purposes but it is not recommended on the other hand, if You’re using mail-receiver, you need the MX records to be strictly dedicated to the mail-receiver and can not use that (sub)domain for sending/receiving emails E.g. If I have example.com and I use mail@example.com for emails, my discourse is set up on discourse.example.com and mail-receiver is on the same sub domain then I can not use mail@discourse.example.com for sending regular emails but mail@example.com can be pointed to another MX.

And is it possible to add a module to the mail receiver so that from the forum level you can reply to e-mails and write e-mails? it would solve the problem and be the most convenient

Not in it’s current state, But I think it may be possible through a custom plugin. If you absolutely need this and have a Good budget in mind then #marketplace is a good place to post your requirements and someone may be able to make it for You.

This is why all of the documentation talks about a dedicated subdomain for your discourse installation. That way you can send and receive email to mailboxes still while using an MX records against the subdomain for direct-delivery email into discourse.

And for the main domain, just do a redirection do domain.com → forum.domain.com ?
