Google ignores all '.' before the '@'. It's another way you can effectively created gmail aliases.
- godelski 5y agoI'm aware of that (and that I can create a filter this way) but I'm saying that there are strong indicators that hint towards spam. That being a very obvious one. I'm trying to say that there's obvious single that a basically ML classifier should be able to catch onto and thus questioning what Google is doing if they can't catch these things (one doesn't even need to read the email). I have also tried using the email+feed@gmail.com to create filters but companies have mostly caught on and are stripping that. So the dots an pluses are not nearly as useful as they used to be.
