    Why the change?

    It used to be [email]spam at adverts.ie[/email] when there was a new post in the thread you were subscribed to.

    Now its [email]blah at blahblahblahblah.com[/email].

    Why not from [email]spam at boards.ie[/email] to [email]adverts at boards.ie[/email] when a new thread is post to subscribed thread?

    You got an email to tell you when there was a new post in a thread you had subscribed to.

    The address of the email has changed

    Maybe I can explain better, I'm getting these emails too.

    When you get a reply to your advert on adverts.ie the mails come from blah@blahblahblah.com whereas they previously came from spam@boards.ie

    the blah blah thing might not work well with all email accounts and could lead to mails goin' into the spam folder.

    Any mods have an idea why this changed?

    I imagine when all these spammers sign up and regi :at: boards dot eye ee sends them a welcome mail, then poor reginald ends up spammed into oblivion.

    The problem is that if you change it to blah@blahblah.com, then an MX lookup on that domain will fail probably, and many people's notifications will end up in junk mail or blocked completely.

    At least admin@nospamdiediedie.boards.ie should pass an MX lookup, but any mail to it should be > NULL
