[pianotech] Somewhat OT -- Spam Software

[Porritt, David]

I don't know that I'd be a reliable source for your question.  The only
time we check her spam folder is when she didn't get something that she
knows was sent.  There might be lots of other good mail there that we
haven't looked for.  Hers is set up as a pop3 so she doesn't check the
web based server unless we're searching for something we know was lost.

I realize that they are completely different, completely unrelated
events. I am trying to determine if it's just me that has been affected
by some change/non-change at Google, or if a wider audience of gmail
users is likewise affected. Gmail "tech support" consists of what boils
down to a chat forum of users, a few of whom happen to be Google
employees who might, or not, happen to spot a particular post.

 

Are you saying that your wife has had aggression level of gmail spam
filter vary up and down? That does correspond to a little something I
was able to glean from the chat forum. Since no Google employee chimed
in on anything I found there, I still feel like I'm in the dark, and
considering migrating off of gmail.

If other emails have been going to your spam bucket it's gmail that has
made a change.  The changes at gmail and PTG while simultaneous are not
related.  My wife has a gmail account and we've found their spam filters
somewhat aggressive at times.

Ever since the software upgrade, I've started having ~15% - 20% of my
pianotech messages go to my gmail spam. Yesterday, I started receiving
other legit emails in my gmail spam bucket as well. Any other gmail
users experiencing this? It's annoying to suddenly have to start
creating filters just to get proper delivery, which up 'til now has been
essentially flawless.
