Gmail's spam protection has been broken for ages. I'm keeping getting obvious spam (pills, eggplants emojis, money from prince kind of stuff) directly into my inbox. At the same time, legitimate email is going to the spam folder.
- sealeck 5y agoYup me as well. A simple Bayesian model seems to be the only thing which works for keeping out obvious fraud, and for more sophisticated fraud it's tough to do it automatically.
- e40 5y agoThe "zoom" spam in Vietnamese just kills me. How does that get through??
- dmd 5y agoI seem to have the opposite experience. I've been using the same email address, never hiding it at all even on Usenet, for 25 years. I get >600 spams/day and ~20 non-spam, and at most 1 or 2 spams get through Gmail's filter. I want to move to Fastmail, but every time I try it out, their spam filter lets through 50-75/day, which is unworkable.
