Thanks, simple fix indeed! Perhaps the mail receiver template should be updated - everyone is running discourse with https, right?

It didn’t occur to me that this was a standard HTTP response code 🤦‍♂️

Although off topic, I must say that Discourse is a wonderful piece of software, I’ve had a few issues getting setup, but given its underlying complexity and my lack of experience with this it has been remarkably easy!
