@Joel I was just using gmail on my phone and according to gmail the reply went to the correct address…

Ummmmm, could have been picked up by the spam filter. Can you get a timestamp for when the email was sent, I’ll check the logs to see what happened.

Just pulled that log from the email server, its claiming that your email had a from header of andrew@resbh.co.uk, for discourse would have rejected it.

Hmm. I guess because my actual account is andrew@resbh.co.uk and everything is some sort of alias that it gets screwed up. Though the full header definitely had the “from” set as filmsoc@resbh.co.uk

Right, it looks like the mail server had a moment and locked up. This stopped discourse picking up any of the emails, (which have now arrived).

I’m gonna see if there is something that can be done to prevent this in the future.
