Nope, it is not a bug. You would need to include the email address that is forwarding to your instance in that field for incoming email to work. On our hosted sites, there are 2 ways to configure incoming email: **1. Use default plus addressing for your site name** Say your site name is `example`. On your site you have a `foo` category. Users can email you at `example+foo@discoursemail.com`, assuming you enable `email in` in site settings and check off the `Accept incoming emails sent to: example+foo@discoursemail.com` box in category settings. **1.5. Use custom plus addressing for your site name** SImilar to example 1, you can enter a custom plus address for a category using the `Custom incoming email address` field. So instead of users emailing `example+foo@discoursemail.com` you could configure `example+bar@discoursemail.com` **2. Configure email forwarding** The alternate option is to configure an external inbox which forwards to your site. Say you have `support@example.com`. You could configure that inbox to forward mail to `example+support@discoursemail.com`, so that emails are posted to your support category. However, since the emails are sent to `support@example.com`, you need to include that as a custom incoming email address, in addition to checking off the `accept incoming emails sent to...` box. * * * Does this make sense? --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configuring-alternative-incoming-email-address-for-hosted-account/102348)._
