Bapu Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 All of a sudden too many legit emails are showing up in spam. Fortunately, I review spam email titles and senders a few times a day, but what used to be one or two a day is now like 30-50. Anyone else seeing this?

craigb Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Yep! Evidently, there's been some changes with Gmail by Google. In addition to more showing up as spam, I had to add a new record to the DNS of the domains that send email to personal Gmail addresses to prove I was sending from a known domain otherwise they were just getting rejected. I hear the next wave for Google is to delete all Gmail accounts that haven't been accessed for over two years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speculation that is just the beginning. Google wants to downsize the servers used to house all that dam spam they allow out into the wild everyday.

Bapu Posted July 8, 2023 Author Share Posted July 8, 2023 So now I have to remember to send an email to all my "soundcloud" account emails (7 of them) just make sure they stay active? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB01 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I get a few wrongly labelled spam mails but generally the Gmail filters seem to work pretty well. Sadly my email was in the MyFitnessPal breach a few years back and ever since then I get a constant feed of crap. I use BitDefender anti spam as an additional control via an Outlook plugin so maybe that helps. 🤷 Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I have been trying out a new program called mailwasher. I had an exposed email address for my store. A ton of spam mailwasher works ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Oakes Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 My main two e mail addresses have been sold on many times. To such an extent i created a third mail address that i give to no company, only to certain people i really trust (3 at the moment). i don’t have gmail address but in France the Wanadoo or Orange or Free etc addresses have been long pirated or sold on. I also check my spam boxes regularly, Outlook luckily catches the main offenders, but sometimes tags « real » mails.as spam. Price of becoming well sold ?

Just a thought.... but maybe they wouldn't have so many of them if they didn't force people to set one up in order to use their phone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
