Anti-spam approach	AI-powered filtering Google says stops more than 99.9% of spam, phishing and malware, plus sender-authentication requirements for bulk senders that Google says cut unauthenticated messages 75%. Google's privacy policy lists 'email you write and receive' among the content it collects, and with smart features on Google uses Gmail data to provide those features; Google states Gmail content is not used for ads personalization.	Multi-stage malware and spam scanning at mail transport time, before any optional PGP encryption is applied, combined with SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNSSEC, DANE and MTA-STS at the protocol level; no content-scanning of already-encrypted mailbox data is described.
