> I believe that when Discourse is set up properly, and user set their own settings appropriately, that this behavior is supported.

Yes, it is supported. The relevant setting is called `Enable mailing list mode` and it’s in user settings under the `email` tab (`forum.example.com/u/my/preferences/emails`).

Once that setting is active, a user will get an email for every new post on the site and can reply via email.

> Has anyone any tips on the Discourse administrative setup side, and a tutorial that we can adapt to teach people how to customize their own settings?

I don’t believe we have a guide for admins or a tutorial for customizing settings. Once it’s set up there isn’t a whole lot to configure.

The most important thing for an admin to do is ensure reply via email is configured correctly: [Troubleshoot reply by email](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configuring-reply-via-email-e-mail/42026)

For users, I think one of the most frequently asked questions is how to only get email from specific categories. To accomplish this, someone can visit the page for an individual category (e.g., [https://meta.discourse.org/c/installation](https://meta.discourse.org/c/installation)) and mute the category from the tracking menu (circled below). People with mailing list mode enabled will not get emails from muted categories.
