Greetings! New user here and not completely technologically inept. I am the director of a legal organization and our web developement team implemented discourse for our listserv. We successfully migrated all of our members into the system. Everything seems to be running fine with one issue: New post authors are not receiving a copy of their post in their email. To clarify, if I open my apple mail, email the email address, create the topic and hit send, that notification (watching), will go out to all members but I do not receive a copy of it. The issue is that many of our membes will email and they are unsure if their post went through. Our old listserve through drupal would email blast everyone including sending a copy to the original author. I hope that makes sense and is clear. Is there a setting or way around this or should I inform members that they will never receive a copy of their initial post? To confirm - they DO receive the responses to their posts, just not that initial one. Thanks! --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/new-post-author-receiving-email-notification/335811)._
