I understand that was the whole assumption behind the concept of spam folders. If it actually worked this way, spam folders wouldn't be any issue. But this assumption failed: the reality is that 99% of users don't check their spam folders at all, so directing a message to spam folder effectively equals blackholing. The sender needs to communicate out-of-band anyway to ask the recipient to check their spam folder. Spam folder can work if the user is setting it up him/herself. That is, the provider's antispam system only tags the message as spam (in subject or another header) and the user must manually set up a filter to move tagged messages into spam folder. Because they set it up themselves, chances are they will look into it from time to time. If this is something that is preconfigured for them by the provider, they usually don't look anywhere else except the main inbox. Of course, training the filter by moving the messages in and out of spam folder will be harder to implement by the provider in this setup, but it is still possible to do. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
