I can’t reproduce but I’m not sure I have the same site settings. Can you tell me which site settings you changed that affect logins/users? **_EDIT:_** I could reproduce it on **private categories** , like suggested in that topic > [@Allowing anonymous e-mails for private category prevents e-mails from existing users](https://meta.discourse.org/t/allowing-anonymous-e-mails-for-private-category-prevents-e-mails-from-existing-users/33421): > > If I use “Accept emails from anonymous users with no accounts” for a category that only staff has access to it can correctly receive e-mails from anonymous users (they are submitted via the “system” user and a quote tag). I expected that this accepts e-mails from existing users since it does not reduce the security in any way. Unfortunately it does not - instead a rejection e-mail is sent back to the user. My use case - as many others I am trying to use Discourse to replace our ticketing syste… Is that the same use case? --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/non-users-cant-post-by-email-even-with-accept-emails-from-anonymous-users-with-no-accounts-checked/39890)._
