I’m looking through some /admin/email-logs/rejected logs and, although I’ve only been through a few, some of the rejections have been replies to topics whose titles have changed. Could this have been the reason? They are listed as Email::Receiver::BadDestinationAddress. Another one is Email::Receive…

[image] Jonathan5: Could this have been the reason? No. When a reply via email to posts comes in, the replied-to post is looked up using the VERP, not the subject.

If that is the case, it would be good to change it – I believe the old URL redirects, and it would be good if the old email address did too.

That’s good to hear, thanks. There is an overlap with this problem: Body of message in /admin/email-logs/rejected is sometimes displayed as gobbledegook – maybe that was the cause.

Do email replies get rejected if the topic title has since been changed?

Believe that does prevent reply by email from working since destination address is changed.
