I noticed in my Discourse-generated TOS, the contact email given is admin@[example.com], where [example.com] is the domain of my Discourse install.
What is that default email is based on? I can’t seem to find a setting in Admin.
And for an install that is receiving mail directly, is Discourse’s mail-receiver equipped to receive emails addressed to anything other than the ones specified for topic replies and topic posts (if enabled)?
Ah ok, that makes sense. I initially installed using an email address that I later changed in the settings.
Re the contact email in the Required settings: since that seems to be primarily for Discourse-generated emails, I’m using an external email address, which I don’t want to make public to users.
A great solution would be if I could add a custom incoming email address to the admins group, but it looks like that’s not possible with default groups, only groups I create. Any idea why? Do I have to set up a custom admins group in order to receive email within the app for this purpose?
Edit: Maybe I’ve made a wrong assumption. If my Discourse is at forum.example.com—and I am not using an external smtp service for incoming mail—can I set the contact email in admin to admin@forum.example.com?
Edit 2: Just tested that, and the answer is no. The response is Email::Receiver::BadDestinationAddress
