I moved to FastMail lately and was pleased to discover that you could have some control over the spam filter[0], as well as useful advice:
Note: We recommend that you do not mark your Spam/Junk Mail folder to
automatically learn "As spam". This can create a false positive feedback loop.
Imagine an email is incorrectly classified as spam, put in your Spam/Junk Mail
folder, and then learned as spam. That means future emails that aren't spam are
now more likely to be incorrectly marked as spam, sent to your Spam/Junk Mail
folder, and learned as spam. Only mark folders to learn "As spam" if they're
folders you manually move email to.
Now on top of that say you're using a MUA and its own spam filter runs atop of that, and decides to move a couple of legit stuff to Gmail's spam folder, triggering the server-side spam learning process. Surefire way to screw the whole thing up (happened).
