This is fairly amusing.  We switched to Orcon a few months ago after being with <OLDISP> for many years, and at the time migrated to a gmail address for our mail email, so as to be ISP-neutral wrt email.

Time passes, everything seems fine.

Until today!!  Apparently GMAIL has decided that my Orcon monthly bill is SPAM because "lots of messages from orcon.net.nz are spam".



This posting isn't meant to be a dig at Orcon; or Gmail; I'm sure both are trying their best with SPAM etc.  However, it is an attempt to let one of the Orcon geekzoner's who can do "something" about it to know there is a problem, and perhaps they should work with Google to ensure their bills are actually delivered and not auto-spam-binned.

Merry Christmas!

This could happen when Gmail users report advertising / marketing from Orcon as SPAM so then Gmail will start treating it as SPAM,

The only time email should be reported as SPAM is when it's clearly SPAM and not advertising / marketing from a company they have / had services with
