If users took responsibility for verifying the source of the email then this would all be irrelevant. Case in point- protonmail doesnt seem to care about his emails presumably because we are supposed to be using public/private keys to verify messages instead of waiting for google to give the green light.

But hey, at least we know what the problem is now so thats at least something. -Ben Sent from ProtonMail mobile -------- Original Message -------- On Jun 3, 2021, 5:31 PM, wes wrote: > I think this is an ongoing topic and probably doesn't need to be closed. > however you are welcome to use gmail's mute feature if you would like to > stop seeing it. > > the footer was removed last week or so, as a test at tom's request. since > then, I have seen emails from him flagged as spam, and also not flagged. > > decisions to flag or not are based on a scoring system. each indicator of > email legitimacy is given a numerical value, and the scores from each > factor found in a given email are added together. the email service > provider sets a threshold of how high a score has to be to flag the email. > different providers will have different factors they consider, and set > their own threshold. > > using linode to send emails is definitely a problem, even if you don't see > it. > > -wes > > On Thu, Jun 3, 2021 at 3:22 PM TomasK <[email protected]> wrote: > >> FYI >> >> This email has landed in my gmail inbox, not spam - perhaps it is time >> to retire this super long thread - before enough people mark is as spam >> - LOL. >> >> Maybe gmail-machines (yes it is Matrix reference) pays attention to >> human replies and re-classifies ... >> >> Tomas >> >> On Thu, 2021-06-03 at 14:11 -0700, Tom wrote: >> > > Hello, >> > >> > Thanks for reaching out to inform us about this blocklisting.
