Gmail’s Spam Filter Threw Up Today
Personal Productivity, Software November 28th, 2006
So far I’ve found Gmail’s spam filter robust, reliable: catches 99% of spam without false positives. In fact I liked it so much that I recommended using Gmail’s services even for non-gmail accounts.
Today is a bad day: Gmail threw up on me, dumping hundreds of spam items in my inbox. Interestingly enough, it only happened to one of my gmail accounts.
Anybody having similar experience?

Nope, works fine for all my accounts…
I don’t know if it’s Gmail’s fault, but apparently some spammer starting using my email address as a “reply-to” address so this morning I got several hundred Out-of-Office and spam filter replies to spams sent on my behalf. Yay.
Zoli, that’s for only shopping for free items on Cyber Monday -)
