This guy has an odd (seemingly nonsensical) quote in his email signature.
To a machine learning algorithm, it might look kind of like the random nonsense some spammers put in spam to corrupt Bayesian filters. He might want to try temporarily taking out that signature if he’s using that as part of his emails.
- Scramblejams 7y agoLater in the thread he mentions that he's tried with and without the sig.
- philshem 7y agogood catch. In my limited experience, complicated signatures (e.g. hotlinked images), or emails with few words and several links are most likely by gmail to be filtered as spam.
- sincerely 7y agoI get like 50 emails a day entirely made up of hotlinked images from companies trying to sell me shit but god forbid someone have one in their signature. Thanks google.

- petre 7y agoHe could have ruined his reputation with that signature?
- invalidusernam3 7y agoA bit off topic, but I googled the signature and it seems to be quote from this movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2125435/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2125435/ Looks like a pretty interesting movie, but a bit strange for an email signature
