Not sure it'd have helped. If I don't log into gmail's web interface and clean out the spam false positives every couple weeks it'll bootstrap itself up from "list moderator messages quote questionable bits, ban the periodic list moderator messages" to "that's similar to list traffic" and it only takes a tiny extra push to go _really_ septic. In this case, Kees Cook has all of his messages show up in the spam filter (still! no matter how many I mark not spam) because his chromium.org mx DNS record insists on some verification step his mail client isn't doing, and it doesn't take much to spread that to "all things google are spam"... I just need to remember to babysit gmail. It has the largest email base to feed into spam finders, but it also does obvious things wrong and tends not to fix them. (Gmail's https://landley.net/notes-2011.html#30-04-2011 issue from 7 years ago is still the main reason I haven't put together a cannonical toybox list history mbox file to feed back to dreamhost every time they break the web archive: my copies are split between my outbox, my inbox, and the toybox folder because of gmail's unwanted filtering. Half of cloud rot isn't good things going away, it's when a service starts doing something you don't WANT it to and you can't make it STOP...)
