I’m testing out a Discourse server and when I deleted a test account a pop-up appears, requiring confirmation. In my haste, I clicked the **BIG RED BUTTON** , which also blocks the email and IP address.

After deleting this account (and associated email address), I’m unable to re-add the email address. How do you remove an email and IP address from the block list? Thanks!

Go to the Screened Emails list in the Admin \> Logs area and remove the email address you want to allow from that list (by clicking the Allow button)

**Edit:** You may have to do the same for IP address
