Don't touch that dial …
We're (John and I) discussing bounce processing and spam
detection and may have to revert the from address change to help with
people's spam filters. I'll update once I know more.

FWIW I think "nore...@twitter.com" is the right choice, it's certainly
a lot easier for image display, etc.
But it sounds like John Adams thinks this is going to change back. I
hope this will be clarified.

Hi there,
We had changed the from address to try and improve bounce
reporting and
prevent being marked as spam by major ISPs. When we added the HTML
formatting we found that we needed a consistent address for the
'always
display images' option in many clients so we changed things around
again.
Hopefully this will be the last change as it causes us a bunch of
work as
well. I'll keep an eye out for future changes and try and let
people know.

The email notifications for new followers used to come from (From:)

Every time you do this, every single person using TwitReport has to
change their filters, and I spend 2 weeks, at least, explaining to
people why it stopped working, and some number of people probably
assume that things are broken on my end and stop using it
altogether.
I'm not making a dime off of this project (nor do I want to), it's
something that I'm doing to make Twitter a bit nicer to use, but
having something as basic as this change twice and break the entire
thing is a bit of a pain in the ass and a not-insignificant waste of
time.
So I hope that y'all will keep this one, since you've liked it
enough
to use it twice now :-)
THAT SAID, I'm glad that the *format* of the notifications has
improved. I certainly think that is the right way to go.
