I've received two spams (I found one that I missed earlier) and had one other spam filtered going to this mailbox since April 2019. Do you believe a non-posting subscriber could be targetting your email address with spam and not mine? Google sends legitimate mails (I don't send any other kind) from another email addresses of mine directly to the junk folders of (as far as I can tell, all) gmail recipients. These are people who have emailed me from their gmail addresses that I am replying to, people I have had correspondance with previously and people who have specified to Google that they want emails from me. I have asked such people to let me know why Google regards emails from the email address in question as spam so that I can address the problem in the event that it is at my end. Nobody so far has been able to extract this information from Google. I tell them that I don't understand why anyone uses an email service that systematically blocks them from receiving emails from particular email addresses and refuses to explain to them why they do it. I also keep telling them that gmail is worth every penny they pay for it but they just don't get it. At one time Google used to publish recommendations to avoid having emails inadvertently stopped by their antispam systems. At that time, I made sure that my mail server complied with all their recommendations. I've since tried to contact Google to ask them about this but I've had no success. Why should they talk to me if I'm not their customer? Especially when they won't even tell their actual customers why they are trapping emails for them? Google is not the solution, it's part of the problem. Regards, Peter Coghlan.
