[QUOTE="Ratsima, post: 1834316, member: 402210"] Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but this is a problem that has plagued me for years. Apple Mail's junk filtering seems to be completely unpredictable. Here's an example: I am a long-time (7 years?) subscriber to Subsurface Dive Log on Google Groups. The group dispatches a daily email summary of threads on the group. A few days ago Apple Mail suddenly started flagging this daily email as junk: [ATTACH=FULL]30588[/ATTACH] As you can see, the sender of this message is in my Contacts. I have checked the headers in this message and there is nothing to indicate that anywhere along the way it was marked as being sam. Here's my current Junk Mail setup: [ATTACH=FULL]30589[/ATTACH] I have tried various combinations of these settings with little success. I have tried resetting Junk Mail countless times. Sometimes it works for a while; sometimes not. To get around this I have written rules to move mail from specific senders from the Junk Mailbox to my Inbox. This doesn't actually work. Mail that is regularly marked as junk includes messages from the ACLU, Red Cross, Lazada (an online retailer that I use often) and Google Calendar alerts. I should note that Mail does a pretty good job of identifying real Spam but I find the many false positives to be both baffling and annoying. [/QUOTE]
