I could see it. Personal e-mail is very unlikely to hit a spam filter, but I've noticed it's very easy for legitimate notification e-mails that I expect and want to get to hit the spam filter.
Just taking a look at my junk mail folder in Outlook now, here's a list of things I wouldn't consider spam that still hit my spam folder:
- (ironically) A summary of mail that has been marked as spam by my server side spam filter.
- Error notifications from Airbrake
- A notification e-mail from a cloud CI provider that we use
- A personal e-mail from a friend who wanted to meet for lunch
- (even more ironically) A newsletter from an e-mail marketing provider we use on e-mail deliverability
- Facebook notification e-mails
- Twitter notification e-mails
I guess it all depends on your conception of "bordering on spam". We send a small amount of notification e-mails (and a weekly digest e-mail if people want it) from our application, and it's incredible the amount of things you need to think about just to send relatively benign e-mails these days.
