Ask HN: How AliExpress gets its recommendation as priority in Gmail?
2•RicoElectrico•2h ago
AliExpress regularly sends e-mails with recommended items. Somehow, they were able to hack Gmail's filter to make it always notify you instead of relegating it into "offers" folder. I confirmed with my friends they also experience this. How?

Now, here are two interesting bits:
1) They seem to change sender e-mails frequently
2) There's this "thing" in the HTML source. Maybe it's to trip up the filter and cause a fail-safe?
