> countless surprise instances of legitimate emails going to Junk
I think the definition of "legitimate" is in the eye of the beholder.
Some folks believe that their "p3n15 extension" email is legit.
Hard-core spam has wrecked the internet. There's a lot of money in it, so these moneyed people will find a way to bypass anything, because services will spring up, that will sell that.
I have an email address that receives mail on 3 domains. Only one of them is "legit," so any email that comes in on the other two, is automatically spam-canned. Apple won't let me turn off the other two domains (me.com and icloud.com), so I have to set a rule in my client to can them.
They get hundreds of spams (many are scams), each day. These are just the ones that passed the "low-hanging fruit" filters the email server does, so I assume that I actually get thousands each day.
I was just talking to someone today, who got his PayPal account pwn3d; probably by following the directions in a well-crafted phishing email. These things work, so no one will stop doing it; especially since the cost is so low, and the ROI is pretty good.
The only thing that is likely to stop the spam tsunami, is a cost to send. No one wants to do that.
