I have a new discourse installation and am setting up Direct Email Delivery according to these instructions: [[Configure direct-delivery incoming email for self-hosted sites with Mail-Receiver](https://meta.discourse.org/t/straightforward-direct-delivery-incoming-mail/49487)]

I have this working on a different forum, no problem. However, on the new forum no inbound emails are getting delivered. When running ./launcher logs mail-receiver I see the email message is getting rejected. Any thoughts on trouble shooting? I’m getting this error from different email addresses.

I checked the API key - it’s correct  
I disabled spam protection  
I checked all the email addresses in the setup, they are correct.

thx

`MAIL_DOMAIN` isn’t set to `reply.EL.fit`.

sorry… total Dummy

To bring closure to anyone else with this issue…

Here is my mistake:

MAIL\_DOMAIN: discuss.endurancelab.fit  
should he  
MAIL\_DOMAIN: reply.endurancelab.fit

MAIL\_DOMAIN needs to match reply by email address

Thank you!!
