Anonymous · 10-11-2005, 11:46 PM

another bad thing 4 us...

2 friends had my email automatically put in the junk folder without them deciding it!

one friend uses hotmail and the other one yahoo...

why?????????

hei guys, how can we tell those things to the google people???

i'm very disappointed!!!

Unfortunately, there's not much that Google can do about this. It's a fact of life that spammers use free accounts like Gmail. Services like
Yahoo and Hotmail use 'learning' filters, so that if enough mail is reported as spam, that provider gets a bad reputation.
(This is why I, personally, don't like anonymous invitations, and spoolers).

The only thing you can do is ask your friends to add your Gmail address to their 'safe' lists.

i just think that i will leave gmail... pitty i like it but can't use it if it creates so many problems and people r not receiving my messages!

It is a problem but, SaiChitAnanda, please don't leave GMail. It's a great (in fact, it's the greatest) e-mail service avalable on the Internet. At least that's what I think. And about that problem, I think you should take mondine's advice.

as u can see in the other post it is not only problem of emails ending up in the junk folder...
the proble is that too many server are now considering gmail like hotmail... or even worse as google does not give away ip's numbers and, althought is good 4 our privicy, it often puts gmail on black lists...
cannot use this kind of service, too many problems... do gmail people answer?

Have you tried contacting Google about this problem. After all, if this thing goes on, it'll be quite a problem for them. If you haven't contacted Google as of yet, got to this page.

Okay, again this is not a big deal. For one it's called an addressbook/white list. Just ask your friends to add your e-mail address to their white list and you'll be alright.

as i said this is not the only problem, 1st as i'm not using the email only with friends but for work as well and secondly because gmail is blacklisted from some server. therefore my emails are refused from a couple of servers so far.
and there is nothing i can do. only google people can overcome this by giving the ip addresses.

Thats not the answer for Google, and even if it was, they'd never do that. They have too many hackers after them, if they give away one IP address their whole farm can be found and destroyed. If you really want to get off the blacklist, use an email forwarder. I don't know exactly how it works, but I've heard they pretty much bypass spam filters because the email may come from a "bad" email, but the forwarder masks that and it seems to come from maybe your [email]email@yahoo.com[/url] or @your_site.com.

I have to laugh at this because one, if you send an e-mail to yahoo for example and look at the headers, you get Google's Ip address. What do you think a router is called or even a Firewall?

Anyone can get your IP address and I mean anyone, for example, see my dynamic signature.
