Spam blacklisting is out of control

Apparently we do live in different worlds. May I ask what sort of email infrastructure you use? I don't think anything I use, either personally or professionally, is particularly complicated or unusual but apparently our recent experiences have been very different.

Probably 95% of the spam I receive is automatically filtered to a spam folder, with a negligible false positive rate. Every now and then some new pattern does make it through but once I've flagged a few instances the rest start getting classified as spam automatically.

I have a gmail account and a RoundCube thing at my own domain (managed by the domain name provider).

Gmail's spam filtering is very generous to DKIM-signed mail - it has a tendency to let it trough even if I've flagged exactly that sender before (as I did with walmart). The one on my own domain has received too little spam to tell how good the filter is.
