Re:Ask HN: Do you all get spam in Gmail daily?

As far as I recall I've never had delivery service spam either in my inbox or my spam folder.
I occasionally get a spam message in my inbox, but it's perhaps once or twice a month. My spam folder collects perhaps fifty messages a month with perhaps one or two falsely identified (usually newsletters or similar where it's understandable that the content might score a bit closer to the line).
I wonder whether there's something about the messages you've approved, or alternatively if your email address is somehow on more delivery-spam oriented wishlists...? Perhaps a legit delivery service with your email had a leak?

Thanks - yes it might be specific with my location, very possible it's from such a leak. I'm still surprised Gmail is unable to learn about these even though I always report it.
