Hi,

I am sorry to hear this and I would like to get to the bottom of this assumin=
g that other people have the same problem.

I checked the mail server log, and it looks like all emails to your email add=
ress have been successfully sent. It could have been that Google has bounced =
them - maybe that has something to do with the outage that also affected Gmai=
l.

I cannot see anything suspicious in the logs. Maybe Peter can have a look to =
be sure.

The process is as follows: Discourse has its own email service which simply i=
s horrible. We have a local Postfix instance that only accepts emails from Di=
scourse and relays them to our main email server which only accepts connectio=
ns if they present a client certificate and we only allow TLSv1.3 internally,=
 and of course we have DANE switched on, too.

Those emails are then sent out to Gmail (in your case) from our main email re=
lay. If Gmail was unavailable for some reason, Postfix would try  again for a=
 while. The main relay is also handling all emails coming from and going to t=
he list.

If you like, I can set up an email inbox on our servers for you with an @ipfi=
re.org address. But of course I would like to know first why Gmail didn=E2=80=
=99t work for you.

Best,
-Michael=20
