Note that Gmail has a Spam folder where all filtered mail gets sent so that you
can review it. If something gets wrongly filtered, then you can simply tell it
that it isn't spam. I already have one in the Spam folder, rightly so mind you.
If you do nothing about it, the spam gets removed from the Spam folder after 30
days.
