It should send the messages to your spam folder, then.

The OP mentions that it doesn't go to spam, it's deleted entirely and unretreivably. It should also be possible to turn it off.

ya I agree. I don't like that behavior at all (I hate false positives more than I hate spam).
I just remember there being debate/discussion about this before.

"As discussed in Section 7.8 and Section 7.9 below, dropping mail without notification of the sender is permitted in practice. However, it is extremely dangerous and violates a long tradition and community expectations that mail is either delivered or returned. If silent message-dropping is misused, it could easily undermine confidence in the reliability of the Internet's mail systems. So silent dropping of messages should be considered only in those cases where there is very high confidence that the messages are seriously fraudulent or otherwise inappropriate."

It could be server side spam filtering (not all spam messages make it to your spam folder with any provider - the worst offenders are often just thrown out).
Just saying it is possible that this is an over-aggressive spam filter vs. Apple taking such an invasive measure. Although, Apple has done similar crazy things before, so who knows.

#9Everything about icloud - from the terrible design to the clunky interface - is as Steve Jobs liked to say, "shit". I have icloud and I'm not even sure what it's for; is it a backup service, an e-mail provider, or a way to find my phone? None of these have much in common, so the fact that they're all bundled together really confuses me. And its name is a bit of a misnomer, you can't even do standard cloud stuff like share photos (like you could with mobileme).
I don't mean to stray off-topic, but this article just confirms my intuition to avoid anything with icloud in the name.

#10In reading this, all I can think of is "buttbuttination" and the broader Scunthorpe problem [1] (to use Wikipedia's term). Strange that Apple is using such a crude filtration technique.
