"It is always better to let the possible spam go through than to filter out something that is not spam." Spoken like an email sender, not an email receiver. I'm deeply sympathetic with the sender, and not inclined to defend Google here, but I'm also aware that Google is a very large target with a lot of bad actors specifically targeting them, and I just checked my spam folder in gmail: wow! The problem here is spammers, and a communication system that assumes good faith on the part of senders. Gmail is choosing one way of trying to counteract that problem which is causing problems for people in certain IP blocks, and that sucks. But the problem is still spammers, not Google.
