Hi, when I get email notifications, I get an ugly red message from google that reads: This message may not have been sent by: [email protected] it also says: "the warnings show because of a misconfiguration in the path from the sender to you. Please contact the sender or mailing list owner to alert them. The warning is usually a sign that they’re not using best practices to authenticate their emails." So I'm contacting you guys to let you know, in case you need to do something about it (plus it'd be nice to get rid of that red warning message in the notifications emails from you :) ).

The wise retired Ringmaster says
Quote:
It's a security feature GMail implemented at some point.
Basically, GMail can tell that the message was being sent by HW, not by GMail.
So it displays a warning 'cause the email isn't really being sent by the email address it says it's from.


Hope that helps, Running Wolf.

I get the same thing too. Nothing really to worry about though?

No ma'am. It is a Gmail issue, not an HW one. :D

Thank you so much for doing so! You bringing it up allowed us to make sure there wasn't an issue going on. :D
