Continuing the discussion from Set up reply via email support: Am in need of a sanity check :scream: I have set up a dedicated Google Apps account with aliases configured in Discourse in the following way: hello@gorgeous.com → bound to a private group hello alias dev@gorgeous.com → bound to a category dev We’re merging in a mailing list, and the dev category will represent that traffic. To create a new post in the category you have to email the alias dev@gorgeous.com Everything is working as expected.. only when i look at my settings for reply by email address i have second thoughts: [image] All reply-to traffic is going to hello@gorgeous.com – would i be better off making all reply-to traffic go through dev@gorgeous.com instead? At this point it seems counter intuitive to be creating topics through an email address that is different to the reply-to address. Has anyone got any real world experience in this area?

I would create another alias for the replies: reply@gorgeous.com. Use that for the reply by address. Then you don’t have to worry about overlap from either one.
