No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Yes, but the mail provider/software you're using and a bunch of other variables do play the role in this equation.
A suggestion: to confirm it, have a test conversation with somoene and mark the last message as SPAM, to see how your environment is going to react.
Absolutely NEVER mark anything from an online email provider you want to keep as spam. They use shared systems, it's not just spam for you, but potentially for everyone on that email provider. That's one way to protect people from receiving spam, 100 users marked that same newsletter email as spam? Alright, the newsletter will go to the spam folder for the next 20k users.
If you mark legitimate emails as spam for fun you're fucking up the system (and give the sender a massive headache if suddenly every @gmail.com receiver puts their emails into the spam folder).
Set up temporary email account for the purpose of test, write to yourself, mark as spam, check how it works, forget about it.
Done.
Best case: This achieves absolutely nothing.
Worst case: Your 'temporary' email account gets banned for spamming (new account, first email sent is marked as spam by receiver). Then your original email account is banned too for ban evasion (same IP, same browser fingerprint, they know it's you).
Just don't mess with the spam filters on a server that doesn't belong to you.
You shouldn't be working in IT. If you do, then your salary is wasted.
Ah well, I have plenty of uses for my salary. Though I'm a software developer, so that's more like ITish.
I also run my own mail server with a self-learning spam filter, so I know how easy it is to mess that one up.
You totally shouldn't work in IT and if you do, it's a waste of money.

Woooooooooooooooooow, what a flex. You should definitely think about Silicon Valley startup with that experience of yours...
