Thread update notifications are from blank sender, so marked as spam
I don't get on VAF much any more, but I wanted to inform Doug & site mgmt about how the notifications about a thread being updated come in. Gmail marks them all as spam, because they are from "unknown sender".
If I go to my #spam folder in gmail and mark them as "not spam", they then come into my Outlook OK, but the "from" field is blank. It seems that anyone with gmail, and others, would have this problem, and that you'd have been notified about it a long time ago, but I just wanted to make you aware of it.
It appears that your auto-mailer for thread update notifications is set up with no "from" name or address, and perhaps you might want to address this.
