Google snafu marked Gmail as spam

GOOGLE'S GLITCH last Saturday not only flagged the entire Internet as brimming with malware, it also led the web giant to route incoming Gmail traffic to users' spam folders.

Brad Taylor, a Google software engineer, posted at the Gmail Blog, "Between 6:00 a.m. PST and 8:00 a.m. PST, we mistakenly sent some legitimate mail to people's spam folders."

A fix Google applied Sunday resolved the problem, but it also suggested that its Gmail users might want to check their spam folders. µ
