| New and improved |
| Changes to sending emails from Severa |
Starting from the December 18th 2023, there will be a change in how emails are sent from Severa.
Previously, some emails (such as Proposals & Invoices) were sent using the logged-in user's email address. However, moving forward, all emails originating from Severa will be sent from the address noreplyto@severa.com.
This adjustment is being made in response to stricter email policies implemented by various email service providers, some of which intend to block these types of emails beginning next year.
In the future, a reply-to address will be appended to these emails, which were formerly sent using the user's email address. This means that if someone replies to such an email, the reply will be directed to the email address of the person who initially sent the original message. |
