Was your FSCS email diverted by Spam filter?

Just a quick poll to find out the proportion of FSCS email's being diverted by spam filters :)

Could those who ticked the "diverted as spam" box please state which ISP/email client you use so we can see which ones are guilty please?

Cheers :beer:

    I think you need to say what spam filter you use as well (as Jem does). I have noticed that the outlook spam filter has been catching far too many genuine emails recently (on lowest setting) and have had to turn it off.

    Got through BTinternet (which is pretty efficient at weeding out real junk), but was put into Junk folder by Outlook.

    Hotmail's junk mail filter got it wrong, as always. Sometimes I think I should disregard the Inbox and use the Junk mailbox instead!

    In complete contrast I also have a Gmail account which is staggeringly good at getting it right.

    Caught by Plusnet, but not Outlook, as far as I remember... long time since Tuesday!!

    Sorry, Windows mail; have Vista so no longer on Outlook. Please be patient with me; recently dead hubbie used to do computing, and I'm still really struggling......
