Since yesterday, at least, I am seeing the following on my Dashboard: Some advice based on your current site settings We detected an outdated version of mail-receiver. Please ssh into this server and run /var/discourse/launcher rebuild mail-receiver. Last checked: November 14, 2019 7:37 AM I t…

@k4rtik thank you for bringing this up. It turns out that there is an additional step that needs to be performed in order for mail-receiver to be updated.
