Which by the way leads to a false positive loop. If some non-spam email lands in the spam folder, and the user never checks his/her spam folder (as most users of such providers do, as they - because of their naivety - believe that contents of the spam folder must be definitely spam, so not worth looking at), this will increase the signal that mail from this sender is spam. The sender doesn't know this, and after he/she doesn't get a response after some time, sends another mail, which again lands in the spam folder, etc. In other words - because the recipient will miss (maybe important) mail from a specific sender, further mails from the same sender will be more likely marked as spam, so less and less recipients will see it... -- 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
