Google, Gmail and SPAM

Hi,

Today I was checking my gmain and I started to wonder how gmail track SPAM ?

What happens when we hit the "report Spam" button ?

Does it "learn" only for our gmail account ? Or does google keep some blacklist database with reported email addresses ?

If yes, does it affects google rankings because blacklisted domain names ?



Wait I have a theory




So, let's talk about mainstream websites, real life companies !

- I send some fake emails to my competitors
- then they reply
- then I hit the "report spam"
- then I repeat this with several fake email accounts created by me
- then all email messages sent by those companies to gmail accounts of their real customers get trapped with gmail spam filter !


That's a kick-ass theory I know, I have an evil mind
