Did you notice a degrade in the spam detection on Gmail?


Hello HN, I’ve been noticing I received at least 2 or 3 email that should have been marked as spam every day. The weirdest thing is that the same exact template, with a different sender but still same domain, are able to go through the spam filter. This has been happening for the last 2 months. It seems like the gmail spam filter stopped working. Has this been happening to you as well?

I've started receiving spam from @gmail.com addresses recently. Each containing an attachment with PDF. Marking as spam did not help to stop new ones from arriving.

I'm getting a lot of bcc: spam these days. Which gmail refuses to mark as spam, since I'm in the bcc: list, I guess.

Yes. Seems easy to spot them but they sneak pasta the filters.
