Got previously issues with [PostgreSQL 13 update](https://meta.discourse.org/t/postgresql-13-update/172563), [Restore problem: relation "theme\_fields" does not exist](https://meta.discourse.org/t/restore-problem-relation-theme-fields-does-not-exist/95500) and [How to backup and restore a whole /var/discourse app folder? - #15 by adrelanos](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-backup-and-restore-a-whole-var-discourse-app-folder/152598/15). Now very happy for the service of being provided with the slower stable branch. 🙂

I guess you’re on version `2.7`. Will be waiting until `2.7` is migrated to the stable branch and report back.

> are you able to provide any additional reproduction steps?

`min post length` is set to `2`.

`delete rejected email after days` is still default `90`.

Replying “OK” to a message of myself is now functional.

Replaying “OK” got another user’s message I now get.

> We’re sorry, but your email message to [“discoursereplies+redacted@redacted.redacted”] (titled Re: [redacted] [redacted] redacted) didn’t work.
> 
> We only accept replies to original notifications for 90 days. Please [visit the topic](http://forums.redacted.redacted/p/redacted) to continue the conversation.

But the message was just 5 minutes or so old.

Replying by e-mail to post by other user with text “This is a longer test reply by e-mail. Please ignore.” nothing happens, nothing shows up in log either. No rejection e-mail received either.

> Is it possible that the message you received was valid somehow?

What do you mean by was valid?
