Calendar Reminders Email Adress change?
Within the last week my calendar reminder emails have changed. They used to be sent from a fastmail support email address and would carry the circle green check-mark endorsement of "The Fastmail Team." This week the check-mark is gone and the email is from "Fastmail calendar notification" and the email address has a "bounce" in the title. (I don't want to write the full emails here in this forum so they don't get hammered by spam bots. ;))
It's not a big deal, but those circle green check-marks were a good way to scan through my email a bit quicker and figure out which items were reminders and which ones were actual emails from people. Oh well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anybody else experiencing this issue? |
Yes, I noticed this also. Several things changed last week (between August 28 and 29, 2019). I think they were trying to improve some of the headers in the notification messages, but they accidentally changed the From so that when viewed in the Fastmail web or mobile app interfaces the message appears to be from "Fastmail.FM Administrator", which has not been used for the past 5 years (when Fastmail moved to the fastmail.com domain).
I just sent a note about this to Fastmail staff I know, and I will let you know how they respond. Bill |
It looks like they've changed the emails we're getting now so it's from a "calendar-reminder" email address, which looks a bit better to me. Thanks for sending the note Bill. :)

Yes, Fastmail fixed my complaints about the calendar reminder emails. A calendar icon image is shown for the reminder email if you have activated the Avatars feature at Settings>Preferences>Advanced preferences>Reading>Avatars. The From address is now composed of a concatenation of the calendar name you have assigned with:
Code:
calendar reminder <noreply+calendar-reminder@fastmail.com>
|
To me the calendar mails started to arrive sent from my own address. Any guess how to fix this?

Current Fastmail calendar reminder headers

https://www.fastmail.com/help/ourservice/favicons.html I don’t think the messages you are examining are coming from the Fastmail calendar reminder system. If you look at the full headers, the Authentication-Results should all be “pass” except for:

I just sent a message to Fastmail staff about this. I had already been conversing with some of them I knew about the old From address and some other issues, and that's what led to the current From address I see of <noreply+calendar-reminder@fastmail.com>. But I just noticed that the To address used for these reminders is not consistent, so I believe something is broken on both the From (your situation) and To (my situation) addressing for the calendar reminder messages.

I get some notifications to the alias used for my default compose From address, which is at my custom domain (not a Fastmail-owned domain). But not all of them. I’m sure that something is broken, and yours is just more broken than mine! I explained this all in my email a couple of hours ago to Fastmail senior staff. Bill |
The support told that my situation results from the setting

A sieve script can be used instead of the green check mark. For example:
