Currently when I'll receive a security advisor notification, the sender address is info@e.atlassian.com. That's the same address that is also used for e.g.:

  • Atlassian Cloud release notes
  • Atlassian University offers
  • Jira Insiders newsletter
  • JSM Agent invites
  • ...

I'll think something like security advisories should be using a separate sender address so it won't handled / process as junk because usually it's marketing related content.

Also funny :D

That notifications often miss a site, etc. is another story but please, think about sending security related notifications with a better address.

Kind Regards,
Tim

I tend to agree too.

I'm not so sure that we should have a plethora of "from" addresses for every possible subject, but I do think there should be a (small) handful of grouped subjects.

Security stuff is definitely something that should be separated out.  "As an admin, I don't really care about insider offers, adverts, training, invites, and the other stuff end-users might be using, but I really do need to be able to quickly identify security and update things immediately"

Having a few "sent by <well named id>@atlassian.com" would make it a lot easier to identify that!
