> Can you elaborate on this? I’m pretty happy Discourse-as-Mailing-List user, I prefer reading discussions in my email client (since you have proper threading there) and occasionally also reply using email, but mostly using web interface due to markdown preview. Having the possibility to use both is quite nice. According to [How do I use Discourse via email? - FAQs - Mozilla Discourse](https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/how-do-i-use-discourse-via-email/15279) it should also be possible to create new posts, but it seems it isn’t enabled for our instance/categories.

In the past, we had [Discourse not sending some emails - #31 by talyz](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/discourse-not-sending-some-emails/12125/31) — I don’t know if this is solved, I may retry indeed, but this was not magic alas…
