As they always should and always should have, at least for email crossing administrative borders. The major root causes of unreliability in email have evolved over time but it has never been wise to assume that it never fails to operate as designed.
Looping back to the nominal Subject: the "spam folder" is a contributor to unreliability that users can see and understand. It has utility for mail system operators (ultimately by reducing support costs) but it is not clear that there is net benefit for all participants in email, especially if you consider the psycho-social side effects.
