Emails from Home Office ATLAS - SCAM OR NOT?

Hi,

I unexpectedly got an FLRM extension email within a week of applying, saying my wife's visa has been extended. However the email came from home.office.atlas@notifications.service.gov.uk

Are they scammers, or is this usually where folk get notifications from? It says the below by the way.

Any information please guys?
