I am attempting to configure reply by email and create a new post by email. I would greatly appreciate any help.
I have setup the mail-receiver container and have successfully bootstrapped without error on my self hosted Discourse forum using these guides.
https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-incoming-email-to-create-new-topics-or-group-messages/62977
I am receiving emails at my domain but it appears my emails are being rejected by the API key.
I have used this guide to setup the API key Where do I put the variables for mail-receiver? - #4 by Simon_Manning
I have configured the API key for system scope for receive email and the default values of:
/admin/email/smtp_should_reject (GET)/admin/email/handle_mail (POST)
This is an example of the contents of my mail-reciever log:
