Hi There, I have setup a Discourse environment per the standard Docker container and added the mail-receiver container. When I look at https://mxtoolbox.com/ my domain community.mountainbikemuseum.net also points to the right IP address of my server. On the mail-receiver container no information seems to be logged, the last line of ./launcher logs mail-receiver looks like this: Feb 09 08:54:24 ubuntu-mail-receiver postfix/master[1]: daemon started – version 3.5.6, configuration /etc/postfix And "./launcher logs mail-receiver | grep receive-mail " does not show any information. When I send an e-mail to an address @community.mountainbikemuseum.net nothing shows in the admin panel under the “rejected” section. What could I look at next? Thanks, Justin

step 1) can you log into the mailbox and confirm that the mail there ? step 2) is your pop3 settings saved in admin > settings [image] step 3) the email address in enter in the category > settings > email section

I think the mail-receiver needs manual polling rather than pop3: [תמונה]Configure direct-delivery incoming email for self-hosted sites with Mail-Receiver Enable the “manual polling” setting, rather than “pop3 polling”

Yes. I can confirm that I have enabled manual polling via the admin interface. I should not have to do a rebuild after that right? Anyway, the result (or rather lack thereof) is the same unfortunately.

As you’ve got the Feb 09 08:54:24 ubuntu-mail-receiver postfix/master[1]: daemon started – version 3.5.6, configuration /etc/postfix log, but you don’t get a rejected email, it makes me think the problem could be in the DNS section of the guide.

Hi Gavin, I do not use pop3 but the incoming e-mail server as described here: Configure direct-delivery incoming email for self-hosted sites with Mail-Receiver Regarding your 3 steps: 1 there is no mailbox so I cannot login to it, the mail should be directly picked up by the service in the additional container right? 2 is set manual polling (instead of pop3) 3 not sure i quite understand this step Thanks, Justin

[תמונה] Justinvolved: 3 not sure i quite understand this step I think that step is for creating topics by email.

Ok then I think I do not need step 3 for now. What more is there to check dns wise if the mxtoolbox check gives the right IP nr for the mail domain?

Apart from checking over your DNS MX records manually (and double checking the guide), I’m not sure. I’ve only set the mail-receiver up a handful of times, and it’s been pretty plain-sailing every time (not to rub it in). When I check the mx:community.mountainbikemuseum.net mx record it says its not the fully qualified domain name, so I can’t tell if the mx records are pointing to the right place. (Edit: I put a www. in front :slightly_smiling_face: It’s inconclusive, but looks similar to my working one. I’ve sent a test email to it just on the offchance) @IAmGav may be on to something that I can’t spot, so hopefully he can give you a bit more detail about those steps. Just to confirm, you’re the OP with another account? I’ll throw in a link to the Troubleshooting section for good measure. :crossed_fingers:

I just set this up myself and mine is working. I activated 2 settings in settings > email manual polling enabled email in check those 2

It is solved. I managed to create a different thread in the process
