Perfect! Thank you. If we wanted to create a third party form, hosted on potentially another server, allowing anonymous users to fill in said form which in turn would post into Discourse as staged users using their email address in the reply-to header of the email, would this be possible?

Or would the email be treated as SPAM by the Discourse system?
