Your email domain from Discourse can’t be the same domain as your Gsuite. If the domains are identical then Mailgun can’t deliver email to Google. ---

This forum is to give pointers and advise.

That doesn’t leave you much choice. If you don’t have the money to spend to have someone else do the work, you could spend _your time_ to fix things. As the saying goes, “Fast, Cheap, Good, pick two”. Assuming you don’t want “Bad” if you wait for others to do the work that leaves “Cheap, Slow”. IMHO, I think the easiest thing for you to do at this point is to scrap your install and start fresh making sure you don’t make the same mistake. 30 minutes isn’t exactly what I’d call Slow. You could have done that several times since when you first posted in this topic. ---
