Forwarding new posts from googlegroup to Discourse

I was trying to activate this today with the following setup.

  • Directly added the in-mail of the category: ...@discoursemail.com to the google-group
  • Disabled Block incoming emails identified as being auto generated.
  • Enable Accept incoming e-mails from users with no account for that category

An e-mail from google-groups would be rejected with the error Email::Receiver::BadDestinationAddress.
If I set the e-mail in mail to the ...@googlegroups.com address the new topics are successfully created, but I then can’t use the ...@discoursemail.com address for direct mail-in. And I only want to use the forwarding during the transition time.

Looking at the raw e-mail it seems that there is a Delivered-To: field that contains the DestinationAddress and the To: field only contains the ...@googlegroups.com address.

An alternative would be to allow for several Custom incoming email addresses.

@zogstrip Should I PM you the raw message?
