Hi, I’m configuring emails for my discourse hosting. Discourse is hosted at discuss.xxxx.com . I read in the documentation that for emails to work properly, we must verify and use the subdomain, e.g. discourse.example.com .

Yes, it’s fine if your mail delivery service will do it. And, if you already have admin access to your Discourse, don’t change app.yml, just change notification_email in settings.
