Coincidence? Surely Google knows this is a legitimate company.
It’s more likely that Ente is:
- Not jumping through one of the myriad hoops Gmail has put up to not be marked spam/dangerous.
- Sending email from an IP address that has been included in a blacklist for whatever reason.
- Or actually is sending malicious emails.
Honestly virtually all verification mail lands in spam on most free providers.
And it’s no wonder. Try running your own server sending these mails before you judge. My company needs to put a lot of work into this.
Why?
Because spam is rampant. So in return, anti-spam filters are extremely strict. And there’s dozens and dozens and dozens of hoops to jump, and holding one leg just a tiny bit wrong immediately gets you spam filtered everywhere.
You might think “This sucks, just don’t block as much!”, but you’re not seeing the thousands of mails that never even reach your spam folder because the server-to-server traffic already blocks them and they don’t make it through that. The percentage blocked is crazy. Spam is that bad.
Spam = ads.
It’s also scams, malware, and data mining.
I’m part of the Ente team. Thanks for letting us know. I’ve passed this along.
Gotta throw away the whole Google
