That's wild, and a bit disappointing to hear. My spam protection has been top-notch. Perhaps because it's a custom domain with very little traffic. Also I mask everything with 1Password which has been nothing but good too.

It's interesting to me to read through this thread and see the stark differences between the US & Europe. Work culture in the US is pretty awful. It truly is every-man-for-themselves, and I find it deeply saddening.
