Why do emails go to spam?
Show answer & explanation
Answer: Filters detect suspicious patterns
Filters detect suspicious patterns ✓ — Correct! Spam filters use machine learning analyzing: (1) Content—suspicious keywords ('free money', excessive caps). (2) Sender reputation—known spammers, authentication (SPF, DKIM). (3) Behavior patterns—mass sending, similar to reported spam. (4) Links/attachments—malicious URLs. (5) User feedback—training the filter. False positives happen—check spam folders regularly!
Emails arrive too quickly — Wrong. Arrival speed isn't the main factor. Filters analyze content patterns, sender reputation, and known spam characteristics.
Attachments are too large — Wrong. Attachment size doesn't trigger spam filters. Filters look for malicious content, suspicious patterns, and sender reputation.
