So what I ended up doing was:

- Verify [example.com](http://example.com) with Mailgun
- Install Discourse at [www.example.com](http://www.example.com)
- The email arrived, but from unusual [noreply@www.example.com](mailto:noreply@www.example.com) instead of [noreply@example.com](mailto:noreply@example.com). So I set the email via `docker exec -it app rails r 'puts SiteSetting.notification_email = "noreply@example.com"'` (in this case probably an easier way would be just to finish the admin registration and then set email in the /admin UI).
