Phew, my gmail username doesn't seem to be listed - at least, not any more (or not yet?).
That is pretty lame though, especially that it's lasted. Google being in control of their cache and robot should have this cleaned out immediately.

I totally agree, I saw that posted in another forum here almost 2 weeks ago, they have yet to clean it out. |

Mabey not for a "big time" spammer, but little up and coming spammers can probably make a good profit for sending spam to gmail accounts since they are so popular

Let them. I have roughly 25 email accounts each for various services and reasons. As a stress test for Gmail and to test it's filtering and separation features I have since set all my email addys to forward a copy of any mail they receive to my Gmail account..
Guess what so far Gmail has yet to let a single spam through to my inbox, whereas the other accounts which the email is coming from even though they use brightmail and other spam elimination tactics have let the spam through...So far my Gmail account has marked every spam perfectly and thrown them in the spam box.
It did have one false positive but it was from a friend who's email name is quite close to something you'd consider spam at a first glance and the message did contain a few phrases that I can see being considered spam. But the resolution was simple I marked the sender as not spam and now all her emails come through just fine.
So if a spammer wants to waste time spamming Gmail let em

| I'm not sure that forwarding is a good test of spam filters. Because a forwarded message is distinctly different than a real spam message. It comes from a different place, for a start. Not saying your test doesn't say anything about gmail filters. Just not sure that if it in that test a spam filter let messages through it would let those same messages through if they were aimed at the account in the first place. |

Re: GMail 'CheckAvailability' Script May Disclose it is still not patched. Sometimes having 1st generation things is NOT the best thing to have.
It is not the best to be frist on the block after all:)
