Gee... well behind the times here ....

 

JUST noticed the email notifications from followed posts/threads have a dynamic from email address. Up until somewhere between Aug and Oct 2018 emails came from forum@geekzone.co.nz, but since then emails seem to come from forum[postnumber]@geekzone.co.nz.

 

Its a fantastic idea as it allowed email threading to work better.

 

Had a very quick look over this forum group, but could not see anything suggesting the change so just had to fill everyone in ;-D

Also, did you go back almost two years of emails to find out when it changed?

Quick answer yes... all my GZ email moves into its own folder after 30 days, in turn there was a rule deleting just email from forum@ after 90 days. The folder just got to 4 gig so I bothered to look into it.
Sorry assumed the other topic totally related to gmail only rather than outbound in general when I skimmed the topics.

 

The messages do now seems to attract a higher spam score with the thread numbers in the from address (possible random/temporary email address rule), but not enough to trigger their tagging as a whole.

 

I guess it was not possible to whitelist the forum@ email address with your inline smtp server to help with delivery ?

I monitor our DMARC reports and also use Google Postmaster tools - spam rates are pretty much 0% as we have a hard fail for SPF/DKIM sets - that helps a lot.

 

I think using the individual topic notification address makes it easier to stop something amiss...
