It works, but you’ll need to change a few email related site settings for this to work.
But, I’m currently working on a feature that will allow you to configure a category as a mailinglist mirror, which will make things a lot easier and more secure.
The new category setting
- allows incoming emails to be auto-generated even when
block_auto_generated_emails
is enabled in Site Settings - allows finding related posts by
Message-ID
even whenfind_related_post_with_key
is enabled in Site Settings - always uses the
email
cook method for incoming emails (currently all incoming emails use theregular
cook method which interprets Markdown) - prevents sending of rejection emails (we don’t want to annoy any mailinglist users when Discourse rejects an email for whatever reason)
