Yup. But it's really complicated. :) In short, they use a lot of methods that include analyzing the mail content and envelope headers, and considering the reputation of the mail source and intermediate handlers. I used to do anti-spam full time, first as an IT admin, and then for a messaging security company. I co-authored a patent on some specific spam detection. These days I let Google do it for my mail as they are quite good at it. > Is there any way to tell Gmail 'hands off' and don't mark anything as spam > unless I tell it to? A filter, as Steve suggested. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
