Google’s spam filter is absolute trash, so it wouldn’t surprise me at all if it’s a false positive. Everyone loves Google’s spam filter, cause they hardly ever see spam, but that’s because it’s incredibly aggressive, and constantly makes false positives.

If you mark everything as spam, you’ll catch all the spam, right?

It's not just Google unfortunately, Yahoo & Hotmail/Outlook are even worse.

I remember email before Gmail's spam filter.

I'd get 20 emails a day and 15 of them would have various misspellings of knob pills in the subject. The rest would be pump and dump stock scams.
