Gmail sends IRS and FBI emails to spam
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33014491

My company email is copied to Gmail. Over the years, their spam filter has gone berserk. It started from PayPal emails a couple of years ago. Last year, critical PPP loan documents ended up in Spam folder. But recently, we found several .gov emails there, including irs.gov emails and even several emails from @fbi.gov, containing legal documents! You'd think they could at the minimum whitelist all genuine US government emails? Pressing No Spam button doesn't seem to do anything for the future emails, we ended up creating "Never send to Spam" filter for from:.gov !

All those geniuses ....

1. Not surprised.

Most email filters wrongly look at the content of the emails when they should be looking at the origins of the emails. Unfortunately, IP black lists are not politically correct while they work lots of technical goodness.

The "from" fields in emails are useless since they are easily forged and, being a freeform field, don't even need to contain something resembling an email address.
