So apparently the system ignores the fact that messages come from a mailing list, and treats them as if they came directly from the original sender's address. And then wrongly marks some as spam. So it's doing it wrongly, twice. Adding a rule to stop it filtering messages with trait 'comes-from-cypher-whatever' works, but it seems to be slightly misaligned with the modern philosophy of "automatic system built for retards, I mean, for Important People Too Busy To Learn Anything". > > One thing I did notice is that by default when you block a sender on > Gmail it sends their messages to the spam folder instead of deleting > them, which could mean its training the spam filter on them as well. > If a lot of people do that, it could cause the spam filter to think > other cpunks messages are also spam instead of just, say, Cypher > Piggie's. > > The solution for me is going to be to stop using Gmail once I find > the time to set up my scandalous basement server.
