For whom is spam actually a problem? Filters are absurdly good.
- infodroid 10y agoIt can be additional work for people self-hosting their mail. But I base that on my own experience many years out of date.
- noobermin 10y agoDepends on the email service. Colleagues of mine who work at military research lab have their emails filtered to junk in my email but then I routinely receive email notices in my inbox from university emails warning me my "Account is expired/full/overdue" and I must take immediate action by clicking on a link. Hint: I think gmail filters are good. The rest? Not so much.
- profmonocle 10y agoThey are, if you can get them. Until recently my employer was using a mail provider that had seriously neglected their product. The spam filtering was atrocious, so I tried to avoid giving out my work email as much as possible. (Thankfully we finally switched to another provider because the old one refused to support DKIM or even STARTTLS to other MX servers.)
