The false pos­it­ive prob­lem with Gmail con­tin­ues, in the last few days the fol­low­ing have wrongly gone into the spam bucket

  • noti­fic­a­tion of my bank state­ment (nev­er used to go into spam, so this is a new problem)
  • noti­fic­a­tions about my tod­dler­’s music class
  • my son’s class list
  • Bob Park’s “What’s New” newsletter
  • a reply to email to the pub­lic W3C DOM mail­ing list (the ori­gin­al email made it through ok)
  • a request from someone to use one of my photos

Few of them match the prob­lems to which Gmail prof­fers solu­tions. I’m going to have to rethink what I do for travel and week­ends and stop using Gmail as a pass-through spam filter.
