The last I recall seeing a number, gmail identifies around 15 billion emails a day as spam/phishing/ forgeries/malware. That is a number so large that I expect the cat/mouse game[0] for delivery is going to be wrong at least some of the time as both sides adjust. I suppose I could blame AI (on all sides), but I am not sure that is the complete answer (it could simply be more people are clicking "it's spam" for their email rather than unsubscribing (and I, unfortunately, know many people who do that for things they originally choose to subscribe to, and do not want to be bothered to figure out how to do the right thing), which influences the results for the next time to everyone getting email from that sender). [0] Decades ago it was widely understood that the sources of various bad emails had subscribed to all various identification services, and test email servers and domains, so that they could try to find ways to get their email through by minor adjustments (sometimes as simple as better language choices, sometimes using various redirection techniques). While I have not followed the current leading edge for such techniques, what is old is probably still good for some cases. -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new
