Even after a decade, it's really, really rare email spam to get past the gmail filter (at least in my experience)
- capableweb 4y agoI used to agree with you but seems like the gmail filter is getting worse and worse, at least it has for me the last few years. I mark everything that manages to bypass it as spam, but the day after almost identical spam messages manage to break through anyway...
- m00x 4y agoIt has to do more with things outside of the text itself. Usually it's because it's of popular spam subjects, spoofed domains, untrustworthy email servers, etc.
- anonzzzies 4y agoThere is targeted spam now in my own language and location; it gets past the filters because it doesn't look like spam at all. I think most spam gets flagged as spam, not because the text context but because of the from/to server / domain / email address.
- hammyhavoc 4y agoEver since December, I've noticed a massive uptick in spam getting past my Gmail filter. We are talking 100+ emails per day selling sexual enhancement drugs, marital aids, conspiranoid prepper nonsense, money mule scams, crypto extortion and various other drivel. What they all have in common is that they're seemingly going through some kind of spinning algorithm to word them differently enough to avoid the filter picking them up.
