Hey I was wondering how you do this technically? Do you for example give Joe Smith a new email address (i.e. joe.smith@service.com)? Or do you change the name-addr for a no-reply@service.com?
What about triggering scam warning?
- timmclean 14y agoFacebook sends email notifications about new messages with the sender's name in the From field, but uses an address like "notification+[randomid]@facebookmail.com". In Gmail, at least, the sender name is prominently placed, while the actual address is rather hidden. Edit: This seems to only apply to posts made in groups.
- guptaneil 14y agoWe're just changing the from name for the email, and each notification has a unique email address associated with it, so it shouldn't trigger any scam warning.
