Very perplexed that Google’s GMail Spam Filter is failing to pick up and stop very obvious Spam Mails in recent months. The spam Emails are usually titled with the subject Confirmation! Or ConfirmationReceipt! (no space in between) and 4 numbers behind that.

While I know this is unlikely, It almost as if it feels like that Google / GMail is deliberately letting these through because no amount of mashing the “This is spam” button on such Emails with in GMail’s interface appears to have any effect and these Emails continue to land in my GMail account’s inbox.

What is even more perplexing is that my Main domain Email account (Hosted with another Email provider) which I forward all my incoming GMail Emails to is able to recognize these as Spam and file it in the Spam Folder.

Regardless, am gradually moving to “De-Google” as much as possible over the coming year or two.
