Hello,

I’m having an issue with a discourse instalation. We had to change the OS so we had to reinstall Discourse, and then restore the backup. It’s running on the same server/ip/hostname.

The issue we have is with the url sent in the confirmation email, for new accounts or password change.

We get an `https://email.domain.com/`… instead of `https://forum.domain.com/`…  
We are using the same smtp with the same settings, and it was working fine before the reinstall.

Any hint on where I can find the setting that is causing this?

thanks in advance,  
Tiago

Which mail provider are you using?

Any chance you’ve enabled click tracking?

Hi Stephen,

it was indeed a tracking issue. It was working before 'cause we had some configurations on our old dns. Anyway I disabled tracking 🙂  
thanks for your help
