GMail - Spam Filter Quit Working

It started yesterday and continues today. GMail is no longer filtering out spam - I'm getting it all. This means if I leave my computer and check my e-mail a couple hours later - I'm up to 200 new messages, with 1 or 2 that are actually sent to me - the rest are spam. Anyone else experience this GMail meltdown?

Not here :) I have my postfix mailserver reroute everything that comes to my regular mailbox(es) to GMail, and since yesterday, there has only been one that slipped through. Granted I use spamassassin to filter out the bulk, but the routing to GMail happens before procmail turfs the SPAM. PS. Thanks for a very interesting blog Matt, I am one of your regular readers, and I may even start writing stuff in my own blog once I feel I have something worth while to say! Just about to start giving AppFuse a go too ... wish me luck! Keep it up!

no, seems to work here, no spam flooding my inbox. i haven't got any spam in my spam box since yesterday though (i just checked). but like mr. hendie above, i send my regular mail addresses to gmail after filtering with spam assassin. so there's still 3 or 4 spams a day that make it through.

I have had my doubts about gmail and privacy. After all, why would they want a gazillion terrabytes of mail other than for mining? I use <a hef="http://www.beprivate.com/index.html">BePrivate which filters out spam, worms, and pretty much anything undesirable. It requires that new senders authenticate themselves by replying to mail. Worms and spammers (Hmmm ;->) don't read incoming mail, so they never confirm. Tell them I sent you. They're good guys. --johnt

I have got ZERO spam on gmail in last three months, only about 30 friends have that address (Kind of friends who never forward chain letters). I haven't published it or written my gmail address on any commercial forms, hence so far so good. I got hooked to gmail, the day it offered https access, meaning my mail was safe from local snoppers. I never realized https was so ligthweight till I used it on a daily basis. Also now that I use Eudora 6.1/pop3 secure connect to gmail from hom, I used it as frontend of my mailbox. - M

You are not alone. While most of my accounts are being spam filtered as usual, one of them seems to have suddenly stopped. The same exact format of message is filtered by one account but it ends up in my Inbox on the other. It started yesterday and continues today. Not sure what's going on. -D
