I'd found mail I'd sent people to gmail had too often ended up in their junk mail, which they never bother to check, and had to be told to do so by other people. Even once is too often with important things. I find people do not train their systems. Sure they may hit "junk" on some spam, but never bother to do the opposite. And I get the impression that people who read their mail but never respond to it may also be convincing gmail that such messages may be junk. I only get one or two spams a day, thanks to countermeasures I take instead of automatic spam handling. Chiefly, by keeping addresses private, and using a separate address for list mail with tight rules about what's let through (lists were always a thing that got harvested by spammers). I get spam from the presumed to exist webmaster address that's not published Service providers have gotten better at spam trapping before it even gets to us, they had to many years ago after a deluge made everyone's email across the country unusable on the biggest ISP here. Mailboxes filled up in minutes, and complaints sky-rocketed. e.g. Thousands of identical mail, mail also addressed to non-existent addresses, deluges from common sources, can all be confidentially identified and refused. But that has to be done at the ISP level. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
