Maybe that has changed, but it was definitely a problem 5 years ago.&lt;p&gt;And we&amp;#x27;re not talking about an email which had some copy&amp;#x2F;paste of spam, we&amp;#x27;re talking about a one or two line sentence giving an instruction or asking a question to a colleague.</text></comment>

Like, at all.&lt;p&gt;If they pass their log through a scanner, come up with a few dozen small servers that look fishy (e.g your IP is contiguous to some other spammer’s IP), and yours is rope in as false positive, you’re banned.&lt;p&gt;And from there you’ll have to convince Google that you’ve done nothing wrong.</text></comment>
