I would like to be able for anyone to post to our instance by sending email.

When I try that from a test account, I get automatic response “Your account does not have the privileges to post new topics in that category.”

I then go into settings as Admin, and change this setting to the below, but I am still unable to post by email.

Can someone help me configure our instance to allow posting by email for anyone?
