Gmail is one of the biggest sources of spam in my inbox right now. There’s even spamware that lets companies harvest addresses from places like linkedin, websites and the like and then send it out through google or G suite. But Google is huge, so even though it’s a large amount of spam in actual numbers it’s a small percentage of the mail Gmail sends every day.

I am sensing lots of shoulder shrugging :( With businesses the key is: does the mail support the business? It’s not about solicited or even wanted by the individual enduser, it’s about is this business relevant mail? Many folks, including myself think O365 has been a big aggressive on this, but their customers seem happy with the new filters. And, businesses can always block mail they don’t want, and outside 3rd parties don’t really have standing to make them unblock it. "Their server, their rules” is as true today as it was 20 years ago. laura -- Having an Email Crisis?
