Yes, all the crap happening with mail is a pain. I have to keep telling people to check their spam folder for falsely flagged mail. Which negates the point of having one, you might as well not filter mail if you're always looking in there. A couple of other things people should do: 1. If they have junk/not-junk buttons on their mail client, use both of them as appropriate and improve the training of their spam filtering (this presumes they're interlinked). Particularly on mail you expect more of (the list, your friends, etc), make sure they're scored more friendly. 2. Add acceptable mail addresses to your contact list (whether by hand, or setting your mail client to add addresses that you reply to). Various mail systems check your contact list for *okay* addresses. The authenticated sender checking has done a lot to improve spam reduction, without also creating an increase in false positives. But it's dependent on mail systems doing it, and on mail servers vetting people they allow to join. These days most of my spam comes from outlook, spammers choose it because they do pass the authenticated sender check, but aren't doing enough (or anything) to stop spammers from joining their service. -- 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.
