Gmail's spam filtering has a high false positive rate.

On my GSuite business email, I've had > 50 incoming business-relevant emails this year that were incorrectly classified as spam. My personal self-hosted email server [1] lets through a bit more spam than Gmail, but it also doesn't suffer this big false-positive rate.
