I am probably one of the few people that use mailing list mode with discourse forums however it would be very nice to enable replies via e-mail.

That’s a neat idea, but I think @ncw or @Edcw would need to help out with something like that.

Docs are here → Set up reply by email with POP3 polling - Documentation / Self-Hosting - Discourse Meta

With some examples.

Looks like reply by email is now working :slight_smile: @debtquity @rclone-ui

Feel free to test it on this thread.

@ncw yes, I see the option to reply via e-mail, thank you for implementing this so quickly!

@ncw I did observe this error in my mail server:

You or administrator need to add mail.rclone.org as SAN on next ACME renewal.

Regardless, seems like my reply was eventually delivered on a subsequent attempt.

Thanks @debtquity will do that.

@debtquity that should be all fixed now - thank you for pointing it out.
