Noted. I’d went through and added all the “crew” that I know….I just don’t know what other contacts other people might have. The whole stupid thing seems random….I’d turn off SpamAssassin altogether but I think it catches a whole lot more than it falsely catches. I guess my preference would be to occasionally go through the spam folder rather than have the inbox clogged up with junk and have to filter it out that way. Server side filtering is usually a lot better way to go. I dunno….the Internet is a mess.

On another hand, I’ve been very impressed with gmail’s spam filtering. Aside from this little fiasco that was dropping most of the spam (eh, I guess it still is except for what I’ve whitelisted…..hrmmm), that which gets through gets accurately flagged. I guess we’ll just keep an eye on it – at least now we know. And Knowing Is Half The Battle.

(so please add SWF’s yahoo account and Flasck’s hotmail account to the whitelist)

it looks like it is a recent thing. I had two emails from SWF and two from Flasck that were marked as spam in the past couple of weeks. I scrolled thru the last couple months of spam and didn’t see anything else unusual.

In case you didn’t know, you should have a “spambox” folder underneath your inbox. You might have to go to folder management and add it….I thought it was automatically added in the webmail, but you might have to look. It’s probably best to just go through it every once in awhile and make sure nothing legit was caught. If something’s in there that shouldn’t send me the email address and I’ll add it to the whitelist. Maybe I’ll see if there’s a way for individuals to change settings for each person, but I don’t think that’s how it’s set up :-/.
