In the cloud environment, spamming is one of the most effective ways to get access to your personal information. Spam works through email, sites or even text messages. To prevent this from happening, Google decided to automatically detect emails based on the account's activity. Google recognises spam emails through a variety of methods, including but not limited to:
- Content Filtering: Google's spam filters analyse the content of emails for known spam keywords, phrases, and patterns.
- Sender Reputation: Google checks the reputation of the sender's email address and domain to identify potential spammers.
- User Feedback: Google considers user-reported spam and phishing emails to improve its spam detection algorithms.
- Behavioral Analysis: Google looks at the behaviour of emails, such as mass-sending patterns and suspicious link behavior, to flag potential spam.
- Machine Learning: Google uses machine learning algorithms to continuously improve its spam detection by analysing large amounts of email data.
By employing these and other techniques, Google aims to effectively identify and filter out spam emails from users' inboxes.
Can we bypass the spam filter made by Google? Yes, since our company is under Google Workspace. The Barry Plant Head Office system administrator can create a list of whitelisted addresses to tag emails as not spam. This will allow incoming emails to be sent directly to our inboxes.
Can I disable spam filters in Gmail? No, Google has its built-in spam detection running in Gmail and we can't force disable that feature. We can only whitelist an address but not completely turn off spam filtering.
Why is this important? To prevent users from accidentally clicking links that can steal your data, accounts, password or even bank details.
