		timmclean on Oct 15, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Your Startup Is Spam Facebook sends email notifications about new messages with the sender's name in the From field, but uses an address like "notification+[randomid]@facebookmail.com". In Gmail, at least, the sender name is prominently placed, while the actual address is rather hidden. Edit: This seems to only apply to posts made in groups.

This is what we're doing too. I was not aware that Facebook does the same.

I just noticed that this only applies to posts made to groups. My bad!
