I’m sure I’ve seen a post on this, but now I can’t find it–I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I’m self-hosting Discourse under Ubuntu 18.04, and I’m using Mailgun for sending email, which is working just fine But I’m wanting to set it up to allow replies to topics by email, and I remember seeing a post describing the process (which, as I recall, involved getting a secret API key from Mailgun), but now I’m not able to find that link. Is that still available, or is my memory just off here?

What you want to do is [Configure direct-delivery incoming email for self-hosted sites with Mail-Receiver - #67](https://meta.discourse.org/t/straightforward-direct-delivery-incoming-mail/49487/67)

That wasn’t what I remembered seeing, but it seems to be doing the job. Thanks!
