Spam filtering in email is performed on the receiving side. You're the recipient, so if your spam filter is filtering emails you want, it's your spam filter that is defective and you are the only one who can solve that.
- woodruffw 4y agoThis is simultaneously true and not useful: most people use an email provider, and the provider dictates the spam policy. Aggressive policies are competitive, because spam annoys users more than the occasional missed message.
- vbezhenar 4y ago> spam annoys users more than the occasional missed message. For me it's the other way around. I don't care about occasional spam. But the possibility of missing message means that I'm forced to read ALL spam periodically.
- woodruffw 4y agoI think there's a paradox here: I also don't care about occasional spam, and the possibility of missing messages matters much more to me. But I probably wouldn't select an email provider with no spam protections at all, and Google is optimizing for new user registrations.
- OJFord 4y agoThat's at least debatable, I send SPF failures to spam, which obviously catches some legitimate stuff, but at very least that's the sender's problem too.
