Ask HN: Gmail Spam Filtering Suddenly Marking Everything as Spam?

6•goopthink•1h ago

Almost all transactional emails are being marked as suspicious even when their SPF/DKIM records are fine and they’ve been whitelisted before. Did Google break something in gmail/spam filtering?

Interesting, I’ve had a lot of emails lately flagged as “Promotions” even when they were not.

Yep, getting this too.

The weights in their filters are crowd-sourced, so the best thing you can do is mark them as not suspicious (if you are certain, of course).

FWIW, I am not seeing this. My Spam label contains just spam.

Finally, it would be good to know what you are observing. Are you seeing this as recipient or sender?

As a recipient.

- Emails are being aggressively marked as “suspicious” out of the blue (USPS, HR emails, system emails, promotional emails)

- Those emails are being regularly delayed by 7-10 minutes.

- Priority inbox rules seem reset

- “Never mark as spam” rules are seemingly not respected

There's your confirmation, then. It must be either a localized failure to some subgroup of users, or triggered by some combination of settings, if some people are seeing it and others are not.
