Dear Gmail

24 August, 2005

Any mail I receive that only contains Russian characters is spam. Ditto for Asian languages.

Either Gmail‘s spam filter has been loosened, or the spammers are getting better, but I’m getting a lot more spam in my Gmail inbox these days. Oh well.

I’m not at all.

It’s probably more to do with you having had the account for a while and it being ‘discovered’.

I don’t think so.

I regularly check my spam folder, and mails that were being caught before, aren’t now. No difference in headers or content. Something’s changed on the server side.
