Back when I was running the mailfilters for a major state government agency, I
regularly saw users reporting as spam things like:
o Turnpike billing and account balance notices;
o Time-to-renew notices for all manner of different licences and
registrations: MDs and DOs, dentists, other practitioners, beauticians,
drivers of all classes, liquor licenses, you name it;
o Inquiries and responses from the Tax Commission and other state agencies.
Clearly all these were things that the recipient had requested, and equally
clearly they were being marked as spam. I don't know why.
