Hi! I have installed docker based NewsBlur and now want to use newsletter feature. How do I enable NewsBlur to receive emails I will forward to the forwarding email address? Is this feature available to self hosted instance at all?
Thanks!
It sure is! You need to go to mailgun.com and setup a forwarder there. It’s not trivial but it’s not too hard. Ask me any questions you might have in the process, I’m happy to help!
Your self-hosted instance does need to be reachable from the internet though, cause Mailgun needs to hit your server’s newsletter URLs (which can be found in apps/newsletters/urls.py).
Hi Samuel,
Thanks for prompt reply! I will give it a try it leave feedback in this thread in any case.
Hi Samuel,
I think there is a small problem with this feature on self-hosted instances: “newsletters.newsblur.com” part of the recipient email is hardcoded in newsletters django app. Is there a way to configure this without modifying source code?
Thanks!
I have patched models.py file from newsletters app and it worked fine. There is one more place where this subdomain name is hard-coded: in javascript code which opens modal box with newsletters instruction.
Very cool feature 
thanks a lot for such a great application!
