Yes! Turning off mailing list mode brings the bot to life! So if a user has that turned on, the bot doesn’t function at all it seems.

This is by design though because people were complaining that the bot’s reply were being sent out. We can definitely improve the handling here but it was the easy thing to do at that point in time.

That’s interesting. Isn’t that the point of mailing list mode? I assumed that if I was getting a reply and I have MLM on it should land in my inbox. It doesn’t matter if it’s myself, someone else, or a bot. That would explain my confusion.
Is there a way to at least let the posts come through with MLM on as opposed to stopping both the post and the email both?
