Forum Notifications coming from a new address

[RosieC]

Hi All,

Some of you have already noticed that the forum notifications are coming from a new address. This new address starts RosieC.xxxxx@xxxx.com.

The address they are coming from is one that I will be checking. I won't give the full address in public here, but you should recognise it as being me, if you are unsure drop me a PM and I can confirm it's me.

Some people have reported their email provider has a message saying that something along the lines of a warning that 'this may be someone else pretending to be RosieC.xxxxx@xxx.com. Don't worry about that warning, it is because orchidboard is sending them on my behalf.

The advantages of this change are...

1. The Contact Us button at the bottom of the forum no longer sends a message into a black hole never seen by anyone. They now come to me.

2. I will be reviewing other messages the forum automatically sends the 'webmaster' and be notifying Marty of any he needs to deal with (previously he was not seeing them).

3. It seems that as a result of the change some users who were not receiving emails from the forum are now receiving them. This seems to indicate that their email provider had blocked the old webmaster email address but now the messages are coming from me they are getting through.

However some users may see some of these messages marked as spam. If you are not seeing forum notifications check your spam folder and mark the messages as not spam. Email clients like Gmail will learn from this, others you may need to manually add the email address they are coming from to a list of senders you want to receive messages from.

We may change this again because of that element of some clients thinking it's spam, but for now I just want to reassure everyone that that address is genuinely the one Orchid Board is using.
