I am seeing Google constantly fail to catch obvious spam emails. At this point I suspect there is some institutional error on their part, where bad actors inside the org are allowing certain domains to simply not be spam filtered.

I've done some experiments with Gmail/Outlook/other spam detection clients on different types of spam/phishing etc. There's always someone who claims simple naive bayes algo would do better than Google.

I'm not able to share the research data, but Gmail filter is a lot better than everything else you see on the market, especially when it's not a newsletter-like advertisement spam, but an actual phishing attack on Org.

Some people say Outlook has better filtering func, but usually tests are not representative and Outlook simply has stricter rule for unwarmed-ip. Which is not that great of a feature in real world scenario.

Anecdotally, I have to say I rarely have issues with FastMail's spam filtering, which uses SpamAssassin (not sure what their setup is exactly of course). I rarely get spam in my inbox (maybe an email or two a month), and it almost never marks things as false positives (last one was years ago).

how do mail delivery services work with this in protecting users from spam because their aim is to reach the inbox for their customers, spammers included

I've been seeing some cleverly encoded emails with multiple MIME parts that bypass the spam filter. Gmail decodes one representation but displays another. Luckily the content they show to the spam filter is mostly static so a regular filter can catch it.

I mark email from someone spam over and over, and it can still get past Gmail. It's infuriating.

Create a custom filter in Gmail to delete it; let it bypass the inbox and go straight to trash.

(There's a "Filter messages like these" option somewhere)

Sorry, a "your account has been locked, please reset your password" email to an .edu address from a gmail.com address is 100% always fraudulent, a 5th grader could tell you that, yet google lets it go through.
