@gmail.com and @outlook.com are like 90% of the spam I receive. What’s missing is effective accountability for those two companies hosting persistent spam groups who operate for months unimpeded.


Sue the spammer, getting a subpoena from Google to find their identity.


That surely is a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to Google using their trillions of dollars in resources to behave responsibly.


Why would a large company spend money to make the world better?

So wait, it seems like you're claiming that you're receiving spam from the same gmail/outlook address for months.

This is fascinating and I have a hard time believing it, might you be able to share some headers?

OTOH, if the spammers are forced to frequently switch accounts, they're clearly being impeded.
