Notification mail adress changed?

[coenenw]

Since a couple of days the email address that sends the notifications for watched threads has changed (from admin@questionablequesting.com to questionablequesting@gmail.com) and now gmail keeps flagging the emails as untrustworthy.

Anyone know why the address was changed (since I never saw an announcement for it)?


PS. Sorry if this was in the wrong forum but I couldn't find somewhere else to put it

alethiophile? tehelgee?

Ah, yeah, I changed it.

See, there is no @questionablequesting.com email server anymore. So any attempts to contact the board or admins wouldn't get anywhere, nobody would ever see them. So, I set up a gmail account for that purpose.

I'll look into why it's being flagged, though.

EDIT: I'll change it back, until I figure out why that's happening, too.

Presumably it's getting flagged because the 'from:' field is a gmail.com address but it did not, in fact, come from a gmail server.
I'm sure there's some way you can get the QQ email server registered as a 'authorized sender' or something like that. Failing that, you could just have the 'from:' field be '@questionablequesting.com' and have a 'reply-to:' field that is 'questionablequesting@gmail.com'.

Yeah, I figured that might be it. But it's all good. alethiophile is fixing it up.

admin@questionablequesting.com will the contact email address, also the board's general email address. Any emails sent to it will be seen by me, once everything is running properly.
