Gmail false-positive rate (the loss side of spam filtering)

set aside as

NOT FOUND

the researcher's note

Gmail false-positive rate (the loss side of spam filtering). The 0.05%-of-legitimate-mail figure traces to Google's Gmail blog post of 2015-07-09; the page renders as navigation only to WebFetch; the Workspace overview carries the 99.9% block rate but omits the false-positive number. Verified benefit, unverified loss.
