Gmail Spam Filter Bug

Gmail’s spam filter has got quite the oversight, as discovered by a LifeHacker reader. Basically, if a spammer sends you a spam with your email address as the sending address, it can wind up in your sent items folder instead of your spam folder, even if it is really obvious, catchable spam. If spammers take advantage of this hole and start sending Gmail users a ton of this stuff, it could ruin people’s inboxes, filing them with useless, everlasting spemails.
