Continuing the discussion from Misleading email rejection when reply permissions not available : [이미지] In our setup, we want to use one category as a 1-way mailing list to everyone who has signed up to our community, so have set this category for watching by default and restricted post & reply p…

I would welcome all emails which would otherwise be rejected to be placed in the Approvals queue. Especially if I could change the “From” when people who are authorized to post from their Email A invariably end up replying from their Email B

If the best option was chosen, as @watchmanmonitor points out there would likely be a need to change the owner of a post if the wrong email is used. One concern I have is that change ownership currently is an admin only feature, moderators can’t do it. Just something to keep in mind.

I’m also interested in that. We’ve been using mail-in to a group inbox and it was mostly awesome, but a few times, we’ve missed some important mail because Discourse rejected it. I’d love to have a way to ensure that every mail is received, even if it’s just to the “holding pen”.

Unless you invent a way to perfectly identify spam-mails, yes. In our case, mails were rejected because after some forwarding, users accidentally replied to a topic they didn’t have permission to .

I agree with @fefrei , even spam. There’s a reason all modern email clients have a spam folder/trap, and not a black hole. Algorithms aren’t perfect. Same reason Akismet requests a staff review, and doesn’t just delete the message. If an email can’t automatically be added to a topic for any reaso…

This is not an algorithm, in the case cited the user got a valid email reply back as to why the email was not posted. So your claims are rather hyperbolic.

No argument there. The user in the original example did get a valid reply, I was merely expanding on @fefrei ’s post and your question (“Even spam…”). To @fefrei ’s earlier point - “We’ve been using mail-in to a group inbox and it was mostly awesome, but a few times, we’ve missed some important mail…

Then change those settings. Problem solved.

No, because there are still cases when Discourse rejects mails, like the one I linked above . (I’ve had this happen with mails from a professor at my university. Ouch.)

Even spam emails? Can you clarify?
