Security Confirmation Emails Go To Spam

Description

Submitted a security ticket today which @nacin and I talked about, and realized it wasn't valid.

After doing so, the security confirmation email rolled in, and it went directly to spam: http://screencloud.net/v/lHVz

There's a danger people might have submitted tickets and dont realize they had to go in spam and approve them

Yes I do. Because it is a security ticket in question, I've attached a copy of all of the headers below with the from email address and the content header redacted:

  • Component changed from General to Mailing Lists
  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Status changed from new to closed

As we no longer advertise the security@ email address in preference for https://hackerone.com/wordpress I'm going to close this as wontfix.

A number of things were changed with WordPress.org email over the last two years, so it may have been fixed, but I can't be sure, but either way, no longer needed.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
