>Their spam filter has a ton of false positives and those emails don't get forwarded to my real address.

This is very interesting to me. I've used Gmail for 10 years now and I've found the spam filter to be nearly impeccable. I can't recall a single false positive. I can't even recall a single false negative, though I am moderately careful about who I provide my email to.

Now I'm left wondering if most people think about Gmail more like me or more like you...
