I am trying to automatically send Around team room notes to a category in my Discourse site. I am stuck with `StrangersNotAllowedError`, because the email comes from `no-reply@around.co` and there is no user with that email address.

Can I add this email address to an allow list, similar to what I did with the “Autogenerated email” allow list? Do I need to create a user with that email address? Can I? (My guess is no, because that’d be a serious spam issue.)

What are my options?

Thanks.
