I could not find a proper room to put this message, please forgive me putting it here.

I get email notifications when a new post is made in certain threads. That's nice, but why doesn't the notification have a valid sender? It always land in the junk mail folder.
I am not able to prevent this because the mail has no sender, the "from" field only says "<vogons-web dot zetafleet at com-spamproof>"

Please improve this. Thanks!

It seems that admin put that sender to avoid webspiders getting the real address for spam purposes.

Some tuning in your spam-filters would help.

I tried that, but I need a address to put in the "Safe list". I use Hotmail.

Other forums is not sending the notifications anonymously, maybe they use a special address to that purpose? I don't know, but it seems that spam is not stopping them.

Maybe some admin could comment this?

Are you unable to add "vogons-web dot zetafleet at com-spamproof" to your safe list?

Yes, it’s my fault.

Yes, when I type that I get an error message explaining me how to spell an e-mail address.
