Since the discourse Terms of service page does not allow to embed links, I was unable to redirect users to admin account as the main contact.

So I’m trying to setup incoming email handler/replier so I can handle official emails.

I tried to use the [Plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-direct-delivery-incoming-email-for-self-hosted-sites/49487) and it’s only for `amd64` and I get errors as my architecture is `arm64`.

Is there any `arm64` (instead of amd64) version of the `email receiving/composing`[Plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-direct-delivery-incoming-email-for-self-hosted-sites/49487)

If not, what are my options setting up a mail server etc (may a different docker container), however, I don’t want to disrupt the usual mailing behavior of discourse (user verification emails sent directly by discourse etc).

What I want to achieve?

1. Want to retain the usual behaviour of discourse without disrupting it’s emailing behaviour.
2. Need to have an fully functional email address to receive emails to [admin@mysite.com](mailto:admin@mysite.com) and to send replies from that inbox. (just a simple inbox with reply functionality is perfectly fine, no need of fancy tools or spam filters)

I can have a free email address like `admin_mysite@gmail.com` etc, but it’s not professional at all.

What are my options?

**Is it possible that we implement a very simple default email inbox in discourse with a reply button and a very simple composer window, to read and reply to emails?**  
(while wondering why discourse didn’t include a simple email inbox inside discourse as they know this is a basic requirement to have a professional contact point)
