No, because the same system that filters list email filters dev email. While |
| 10 |
I don't use paypal, other devs might to handle shipping of hardware or |
| 11 |
whatever. That said, they probably don't want PayPal stripped from the |
| 12 |
subject line. As with most large scale email systems, there tends to be a |
| 13 |
"you're on your own, you handle it" aspect to filtering. This prevents false |
| 14 |
positives from hitting the filter and someone missing an important email. |
