Boxbe allows spam Gmail used to block
Boxbe seems to be fooled by spam if sent from an address on my guest list, even though Gmail used to identify it as spam and bin it.
Specifically, I use a Gmail account with a dot in the username. For filtering purposes I sometimes send myself email from the account with out a dot in the username (e.g. I send to user.name@gmail.com from username@gmail.com). Of course, some spammers try to send me email from my own address as well. Gmail used to filter these, no problem.
Now that I'm using Boxbe and all my self-addresses are on my guest list, all this spam is coming through. I'm now getting *more* spam in my inbox, not less! What can I do?

I’m unhappy and hoping for a solution

Inappropriate?Hi,
Thank you for your question. If an address is on your Guest List, then email from it will prioritized into your Inbox. If an address is on your Blocked List, then email from it will be placed into the SPAM folder. And if an address is on your Blocked List and marked to be Wait Listed (little symbol to the left of the address), then email from it will be placed into the Waiting List folder.
There are thresholds for auto-allow and auto-block should you notice that the spam messages coming in meet a certain score overall, then you can set the auto-block to that number and messages will be placed into the SPAM folder.
Hope this helps.
I’m thankful
