Hi all, I left last night while they were rolling this back to the old long format addresses. Re-reading the logs this morning it seems like there was some sort of problem and it was rolled back. Waiting for the engineer in question so I can find out more details but based on what I'

*sigh* Seriously? I've already started telling people to change their filters and now they're going to break *again*. This is why daddy drinks. All kidding aside, I don't understand how a change like this gets pushed out without the left hand knowing WTF the right hand is doing — which is what

Hi all, The change in from address was meant to fix the 'allow images' but in the process broke some ISP spam filters, some spam reporting, and a great many people's mail filters. We're working on rolling that back now. Sorry for the disruption. Thanks; – Matt Sanford / @mzsanford

nore...@twitter.com isn't the best choice because many mailers on the Internet refuse to acknowledge Errors-To: headers. Right now, because there is little industry consensus on how to properly handle a bounce (aside from send a message back to the Return- Path:) our VERP methodology on ad

Don't touch that dial … We're (John and I) discussing bounce processing and spam detection and may have to revert the from address change to help with people's spam filters. I'll update once I know more. Thanks; – Matt Sanford / @mzsanford Twitter Dev On May 6, 2009, at 3:13 PM,

Hi there, We had changed the from address to try and improve bounce reporting and prevent being marked as spam by major ISPs. When we added the HTML formatting we found that we needed a consistent address for the 'always display images' option in many clients so we changed things aro
