Jay, I’ve also tried that, perhaps my attempt to make an MX record is inaccurate .. I get and OK config at Mxtoolboxdotcom: (no PTR record, no support for TLS, otherwise all green) We have to have a DNS record that directs our TLD email to our outgoing mail server, that seems to override my attempt to send mail to the server / subdomain, viz: sending test email to nobody@discourse.TLD,domain shows up in the mail receiver logs as: reject: RCPT from outgoinghost.otherdomain 454 4.7.1 \: Relay access denied; from=[ME@otherdomain](mailto:ME@otherdomain) to=[nobody@TLD.domain](mailto:nobody@TLD.domain) I have this MX record: MX Record HOST discourse.TLD,domain VALUE discourse.TLD,domain.
