New Footer

[ShirtsDre]

This email was in fact a test email broadcast sent out to stake administrators in an effort to verify functionality on a back-end tool that allows church headquarters to send an email to all stake administrators. It is very likely in the next week that one or more of these test emails will arrive again.

In the next few tests, the administrator's email address listed in the footer should be correct.

Your patience with this very public set of tests is greatly appreciated.

Question: I never saw the test Email inspite of the fact that I'm the Stake Administrator and have LUWS flagged to send inquires to me. I've checked my junk mail and nothing. Was this message actually sent to ALL administrators? How do you identify the admins?

This particular test message was sent to ALL stake administrators (Not including resource admins). We pull admins that are stake admins, currently registered with LUWS, and those we can verify membership.

While this email was sent out to all stake admins it does not mean that all will receive it. Some internet and email account providers are actively blocking LUWS email. This footer is one small step in getting emails to go through.

This test was just that. It will take some more work to get this back-end tool working at peak efficiency.

Interesting. However, I used a Gmail account for much of my Church-related Email and I've never noticed a block. I have always received Email from CHQ, FamilyHistory support, MLS Support, and others. Gmail does have a spam bucket, but to my knowledge they do not block anything - it simply goes into the spam bucket.

It's not a big deal. I was simply curious. I'll watch for the next one and perhaps it will go through.

Looking at the mail I got, it seems to have passed though mail1.gmhwh.org despite the fact it claimed to come from bounce.ldschurch.org.

Gmail took a neutral stance on the discrepancy, but some other ISPs may have rejected it as a forgery (spam).

Work is being done to have SPF checks to pass or at least go through as neutral. The church-owned domain of gmhwh.org is used for our email server. An SPF check with both gmhwh.org and bounce.ldschurch.org will show that their SPF records are identical. Additional tags within the email header help it pass versus be treated as neutral, or be blocked.
