No, actually not - all e-mails sent to GMail from my support account go directly to the spam folder, with one exception: When I reply to an e-mail received from a GMail user, the reply goes to the inbox. Since forum notifications aren't replies, they all go to the spam folder too.
This why my filter suggestion works really well...
Here is an example on how it works:

Lefteous - This would only work if the mail was actually being sent. If nothing is actually coming to your account the filters don't really do much.
There are definitely sent.

So, your filter has nothing to do.

They are definitely sent - at least till April 9th.
The filter moves the stuff from spam to inbox.

I'm just blocking the English gmail, not the German googlemail, although they are essentially the same. I want to reduce the confirmation mails generated by spammers trying to register for the forum.
