I am debating which email address to use for my discourse site and would like to understand a bit better how this is intended to be used and what others are doing.

The domain of my discourse is eg `http://community.foo.org` and so it seems sensible to use `comunity@foo.org` as the email to send all discourse email from. But that email address does not exist already - should it be set up as an alias of another commonly used role mailbox like `info@foo.org` or `foo@foo.org`?

I have set up google apps with `discourse@foo.org` as the mailbox that all mailing lists and forum replies are sent to, which is working correctly. Should this instead be e.g. `community@foo.org` and be the same address configured for notification emails?
