Is Google Now Too Big To Handle Anything?

@Alleygal: I'm a dreamhost user. Their spam filtering works pretty well for me (they use SpamAssassin). Also, you can set up Gmail to pop your mail from dreamhost rather than forwarding--no long delays that way.

@KarenUhOh: Spit out my tea! I get at least 20 of those MegaDik emails per day. They must spell dick that way to fool the spamguard.

Google's PR department is famous for doing absolutely nothing. Like Paris Hilton. Without the fucking on video.

It's intensely irritating. I wish Google would at least comment on whether they consider this a problem -- if they don't *want* Dreamhost users forwarding mail, then say that or amend Gmail's TOS. What makes this so crippling is that Dreamhost completely abdicated years ago on fixing its broken spam filtering and made "forward to Gmail" its official recommendation. So a vast percentage of their user base has their mail configured this way.

every spam is great!

@KarenUhOh: I know. I was imagining a world where all African investment problems had been solved and no one suffered from erectile dysfunction or acid reflux. What a bitter disappointment.

I can see why it's taking Google while to resolve this.

It takes time to filter out the glorious, splendiferous and superlative spam from the just plain spam spam.

Yes, Google is keeping you from getting laid more often. That's what it is.

Spam stories on Gawker.

The King/Queen are dead. Long live the King/Queen.

Sigh.

I would think this would be more of a Google cafeteria issue.

@TheHonJudgeSmails: But if this news has already made it to Gawker, think how intense it must be with the techies. Any crack in Google's armor is going to make them tinkle in their pants with excitement because they're all waiting for Linus Torvalds to rule the world.

I've always thought I was sexy (possibly douchey) by telling potentials to "send me an email at "my name" @ "my name dot com". But recently it seems the mail hasn't been going through 100%. I'm not on dreamhost, but I can't help but wonder ...

Too busy lighting cigars with hundred dollar bills, is my guess.

Honestly, though - pretty sure they have bigger fish to fry, here.
