Hi Michael,

Thanks for the feedback.

Just for clarification, the email address I am having problems with is adolf(dot)belka(at)gmail(dot)com. This is the one I use for IPFire Community.

ahb(dot)ipfire(at)gmail(dot)com, the one I use for the development lists is working fine.

It would be good to understand what has happened but with the hiccups that can happen with gmail, it might be a good idea to have an @ipfire.org address once you understand what the problem was.

Regards,
Adolf

We have a local Postfix instance that only accepts emails from Discourse and relays them to our main email server which only accepts connections if they present a client certificate and we only allow TLSv1.3 internally, and of course we have DANE switched on, too.

There is a change button for the email address I am using but if I enter another one then the system says that I can't carry that operation out.
