Google spam security :)

Well i was testing how stong is Googles Spam filters.
What if i own a google account and try to use it as a spamming account..

I mailed 500 poeple at the same time (500 is the limit for gmail for single mail). All address were bogus.. Well Google jammed my mailbox and i wanst able to send a single mail from them.. Didi anybody tried this.. Thank god i tried this on my dumy account. Its still locked though i can receive mail from it..

But then i opened another account.. changed the settings for the account. I used old account as sending account.. Google didnt stopped me from doing so. So in another way my email again started working

Bad zOmBiE. If you keep playing with your Google, it'll fall off.

spamming

I'm sure google will pick up on sending spam as well as recieving it... after all i'm sure google watch our every move, and every click. So they'd probably already pre-empted your decision to mail so many dummy accounts! You got to remember that i'm sure alot of thought went into the gmail mail system, they probably analysed the hell out of current systems, and found where they could lock it down. To keep gmail looking good and respect they can't have people spamming from the accounts. Doesn't need to say that someone couldn't spoof an email account and get gmail listed in some way , shape or form!
