HI, I notice that its possible to turn on the facility for people to send an email to a specific email address which in turn will post their reply as a new topic or perhaps a response to a topic. Does this person need to be an existing registered user for this to happen, or can Discourse be set up…

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 …

@gerhard thanks for the post, although from what I understand, this is to suck in some pre-defined mailing lists. Ideally what I want to do is have the same function that’s provided by staged users via email, but through a form thats always open and the end user still gets their topic updates by ema…

Sorry, I got a little bit confused by the other topic :blush: I think if you want to use your own form you’ll either need to use the API or make your form send an email to your Discourse. But you’ll lose a lot of of features that the Discourse UI provides for creating posts.

Yes, I’m thinking that sending an email from a third party form, using a third party email address is also going to cause issues with email validation and spam filtering too.

Discourse itself doesn’t include any spam filtering (beyond checking for the auto-generated header), so even if SPF/DKIM records don’t match it should work. If you have spam checks upstream of discourse then you may run into problems. A “better” solution would definitely be to use the API.

I agree @david I’ll need to take a look at the API to see what it provides in terms of methods. Thanks for the great advice.

@sam @supermathie is there a way to make the above work?
