When a spam filter goes wrong
The spam filter of one of my mailboxes seems to be functioning erratically. I still receive about 10 spam emails a day, but meaningful and even important emails are often getting rejected. As the filtering is done on the server and the mails regarded as spam are simply rejected, I didn't even know about the problem until, for quite a few times, someone told me that they had sent a mail to me and I didn't receive it. I tried to send a test mail yesterday--and it got rejected too.
Well, I guess I should be glad that this did not happen half a month ago. I had a few REALLY important emails back then, and the bad spam filter could then wreak a lot of havoc.
