There is a "Report Spam" function which is two clicks away (it's in the "More" menu).
Didn’t see this in the article, do they have multi az redundancy? I.e. if the entire raid goes up in flames what’s the recovery process?

Gmail puts most of my email in the spam folder, including a lot of non-spam. Manually labeling it as non-spam is not helping.
Such an awesome article. I like how they didn't just go with the Cloud wave but kept sysadmin'ing, like ol' Unix graybeards. Two interesting things they wrote about their SSDs: 1) "At this rate, we’ll replace these [SSD] drives due to increased drive sizes, or entirely new physical drive formats (such E3.S which appears to finally be gaining traction) long before they get close to their rated write capacity." and 2)…
To avoid sysadmin tasks, and keep costs down, you've got to go so deep in the cloud, that it becomes just another arcane skill set. I run most of my stuff on virtual Linux servers, but some on AWS, and that's hard to learn, and doesn't transfer to GCP or Azure. Unless your needs are extreme, I think sysadmin'ing is the easier route in most cases.
I absolutely love Fastmail. I moved off of Gmail years ago with zero regrets. Better UI, better apps, better company, and need I say better service? I still maintain and fetch from a Gmail account so it all just works seamlessly for receiving and sending Gmail, so you don’t have to give anything up either.
Why is it surprising? It's well known cloud is 3 times the price.
Ive even worked in companies where the engineering team spent effort and time on building "scalable infrastructure" before the product itself even found product-market fit...

Earlier quoted context omitted.
my inbox at fastmail is near empty from spam. the main spam i see in my inbox is forwarded from my gmail.
That probably says more about the email address that’s out there than anything else.
