Users with Gmail accounts not getting emails from our forum

I have verified that other email providers are receiving email our discourse e-mailer. Even when I send an email directly from the server it comes in to our gmail users… It just seems that emails sent by the system are being blocked

If your server can email Gmail normally (like you just said above), then there’s probably a different issue at hand.

I am wondering if your “noreply@sitedomain.com” user name is being blocked? If so maybe Changing the username might not be blocked?

Maybe “donotreply@sitename.com” ?

Another option if self hosted use a different mailserver for Gmail accounts with this plugin

This can also be great as a backup provider for staff is using same or same unique email domain. Ie yourname@yoursite.com
