Title: Link in reply to PM is incorrect.
Post by: yitzchok on August 25, 2019, 09:51:33 PM
I just installed SMF 2.1 and I'm testing it a bit.
When I send a PM to another user they get an email with the PM as well as a link to reply to the PM.
The link in the email is "email.mydomain.com........" however email.mydomain.com is not pointing anywhere and therefore errors out when trying to access it.
When I add a A record to email.mydomain.com pointing to the IP address of my server I'm getting a 404 error.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you

Do you mean the address the email is sent from, or a link to a website? The link to the website should be set to be the same as your actual forum...

The email it's coming from is correct.
My forum is at forums.mydomain.com
But the link to respond is email.mydomain.com which is not pointing anywhere.

you mean the link in the email to open the reply to the message is incorrect? or if you reply to the email received the email address is then incorrect?

Yes, The link in the email to open the message to reply is incorrect.
The reply-to email is fine. (that's coming from the smtp settings)

Sorry my fault.
I started using my old mail-gun account for testing purposes and I had link tracking turned on in mail-gun which was rewriting the links.
Problem was I did not have the Cname added for the mail-gun host-name which was giving me a no such page error.

Thank you all for your help and patience.
