I run my own mail server with full SPF, DKIM and SRS, routing the mail through a relay at a reputable VPS provider on high-reputation IPs. Over the last few months, there seems to be this pattern where if I email someone @gmail who I've never mailed before, they don't seem to ever get it. I wonder if this is the issue.

It might not be related, but I've been seeing some spam in my gmail inbox in the past month. It seems that something has upset the balance. For example, this went to my inbox:

From: [...] Baby

Subject: HELLO HANDSOME

Body: HOW ARE YOU DOING

Feel free to send me an email, and I'll let you know if it arrives in my gmail spam folder.

Interesting, I've been getting very similar spam messages slip into my gmail inbox.

Happened to me as well. Some of the eMail were just "updates" email that I like to receive but if they get lost is not a big deal. But a couple of them were very important one, and to make things worst, they were answer to email in which I was in CC. So, a colleague of mine send an email to someone and CC me. The second person answer and that mail is marked spam for me but not for the person who wrote the original eMail. Doesn't make sense that an answer to a legitimate conversation is by default a legitimate eMail?

I've had the same experience with the LKML lately (been subscribed for about 8 months, generally spam filter has had v. few false positives), can't remember exact numbers, but big, big chunks have been incorrectly labelled.

There seems to be a fair bit of spam sent to the LKML, I don't know whether there's been more lately, but perhaps the large amount of email sent to many people for the LKML and the fact there's a decent amount of real spam sent there, combined with a more aggressive setting is an explanation?
