Regarding this use case: > [@burke](#): > > For us, the primary need is to accept new posts via email from alternate email addresses, so users don’t need to worry about which account they’re using to email the community. > [@Multiple email accounts for single user](https://meta.discourse.org/t/multiple-email-accounts-for-single-user/12040/12): > > (…) one of the problems I’ve found managing mailing lists is that users often submit email from the wrong email account. It would be very handy to have alias emails so that when they submit emails to the server, they are accepted instead of bounced with a terse message (which is what happens now). What should happen after you’ve sent a new reply in with your non-primary email address? Should that email _also_ be subscribed to the thread now? As far as I can tell, that would get messy. My suggestion would be that whenever you send in a new post using your non-primary email, you get a confirmation email back from Discourse saying: > Your post, sent from [jane-social@example.com](mailto:jane-social@example.com) has been received and published. Please note however that you will only receive updates on your **primary** email, which is listed as [jane@example.com](mailto:jane@example.com). --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/two-emails-for-one-user/16328)._
