Until it’s gone.. or stops working for no reason.
How good is the Spam filtering on GMail? Really fricking good, that’s how good. At a given moment, I’ve got around 10k in the spam box, and it tends to be 99.999% effective in only removing the things it should. So good in fact, that I suggest that if you aren’t using it already, you should at the very least bounce your email through GMail on it’s way somewhere else. Anyway, sales pitch over.
For some reason, the GMail spam filtering stopped working yesterday and for most of this morning. My inbox was absolutley overloaded with utter junk. It really is the difference between email being useful, and being so overwhelmed with crud that you seriously consider selecting all and deleting the lot..
So, thanks for fixing it so my email works again. I wish it wasn’t the case, but certainly for my email address, without industrial strength spam filtering it would be utterly useless.
