With the compliance update in May 2025, the "From" field of voicemail email messages will be modified to meet the latest RFC standard. Specifically, RFC 6854: Update to Internet Message Format to Allow Group Syntax in the "From:" and "Sender:" Header Fields. According to this standard, the Internet message format must always include an address in the "From" header. For example:

How this will affect your organization:
Voicemails will be delivered from the email address [email protected] to meet the latest RFC standard.
What you need to do to prepare:
Please allowlist the following email address as soon as possible, and no later than May 2025: [email protected]. Starting from May 2025 Voicemails will be delivered from the address [email protected].
