You've described how my mailserver should work.
I'm willing to stipulate that this is correct and would, in my case, be a difficult problem to solve.
But nobody is losing job offers or missing kids' schedules or breaking their summer plans because of my mailserver.
I am talking about gmail. I am talking about MS (whatever it is). I am talking about yahoo.com.
Their spam heuristics are, in many cases, laughably bad - they are demonstrably, clearly broken. If I email my wife twice daily for 15 years and then one of my responses to her emails gets put in the gmail spam folder ... what words to even use for that ?
They need to fix this. I don't care how sticky of a problem it is.
- elric 4y ago$employer uses MS for email hosting. MS recently started dumping every single email from every single Apache mailing list in the spam folder. These are mailing lists to which I've been subscribed for a decade, to which I regularly send emails, and which probably have thousands of subscribers. There is no option for me to whitelist the mailing list, only individual senders, of which there are hundreds. Everything about megacorp spam filtering is broken.
- denton-scratch 4y ago> they are demonstrably, clearly broken Well, gmail, MS and Yahoo have their own ideas about what "broken" means. Google in particular forces changes to standards by simply implementing them in their own services. Those changes never make it easier for small-fry postmasters; so I conclude that Google would like all small-fry mailservers to disappear. Discrimation through spam-filtering isn't unthinkable, and it would be hard to prove (especially if they claimed there was "AI" involved in the filters). Google used to have really good spam filtering; I can only suppose that the reason it's got worse is that they want it worse.
