gmail question

Not sure where to go with this. I think this may be the right place. I hope.

Gmail users. Have you noticed the link at the top of your page in reference to notifications coming from AW?

This message may not have been sent by: [email protected] Learn more Report phishing

I followed the link to learn more and see what was meant by it and got this page.

After reading it, I have no idea how it applies to AW. I'm not afraid the notifs are phishing. I was just curious and would like to shut that stupid green highlighted thing off since I'm not worried about it. And as always with gmail, you never know when their next 'improvement' is going to screw with that to 'fix it'.

I see that the Gmail info page you linked to was updated yesterday. Possibly they have just introduced SPF authentication to their systems, however this would seem to be an extremely user-unfriendly thing to expose regular users to - setting up SPF records is for sysadmins.

If this is a new introduction then perhaps they had something else in mind and someone at Gmail will make these authentication alerts go away soon.

That IS the address that server notifications are relayed through. The face that it's a relay address might be what's triggering the phishing filter. There should be some way to tell the filter to calm down.

I'll look into editing the SPF records.
