On April 26, 2022, 香蕉秀鈥檚 Spam Quarantine Service (Proofpoint) will be retired. This older spam-blocking technology is no longer needed, as 香蕉秀鈥檚 Google services offer equivalent email protections.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Starting on April 26, Google will move messages considered spam to your 香蕉秀 Gmail Spam folder. You may notice the following changes:
- An increase in email to your 香蕉秀 Spam Folder.
- An increase in email to your 香蕉秀 Gmail Inbox. As Google learns to identify spam that was previously quarantined by Proofpoint, some messages may incorrectly end up in your Inbox.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
Please flag any spam message you identify in your Inbox with Google鈥檚 built-in 鈥�Report spam鈥� button. This will prevent similar messages from reaching your Inbox (or others鈥� Inboxes) in the future.
