Google is a big, greedy, spam monster

October 31st, 2007 | Posted in Google, Techy Talk

As good as Gmail is at filtering spam. It would be nice if it would stop putting all emails sent from my web form into the spam folder. As you have probably guessed, enquiries are not actioned until I, by chance, browse my spam folder.

Setting filters and classifying emails as “not spam” makes no difference.

The only solution is to set the from address to be something like “contactform@mysite.com” and adding the email address as a contact. Gmail recognises it as a friend and doesn’t place it in your spam folder. (Remember to include the senders proper email in the body. :) )
