**_This is the community forum for [Mail-in-a-Box](https://mailinabox.email). Please read this post before participating on this forum._**

If you are getting a new box set up, please look through the [setup guide](https://mailinabox.email/guide.html) first to see if it answers your question before posting.

If you have a question about a running box, please take a look at the [maintenance guide](https://mailinabox.email/maintenance.html) which has some tips about resolving problems. Follow the **Something Went Wrong!** section’s instructions prior to posting here.

Our community has a [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). Please read it!

Then go ahead and start a new topic on this forum using the `Create Topic` button on the [forum homepage](https://discourse.mailinabox.email). Include in your post:

- Any relevant output from the Status Checks page in the /admin site on your box (if possible).
- Whether you’ve turned on any advanced features (external DNS, secondary DNS, custom DNS, etc.).

If you’ve found a problem in Mail-in-a-Box that doesn’t get solved here, please [open an issue on the github repository](https://github.com/joshdata/mailinabox/issues?direction=desc&sort=updated&state=open) so Josh doesn’t lose track of the problem.
