Bell NOT putting email XML tagged as Spam in Junk mail

H Doucet — Sat, 03 Jan 2026 16:47:00 GMT

Hi all,

I am getting extremely spammed by the spam over the past few months. I mean over 20 spam messages a day - and my father is as well.

I think I have over 100 keywords in my filter and still it keeps coming.
I follow the instructions of don’t click and mark as junk and it does not help.

i understand spammers are always trying the next big thing, however, I have noticed is that if you “View Source”, there are many tags in the emails saying it is spam, like this:

X-RG-VADE: Spam

X-RazorGate-Vade-Classification: spam

So, I can’t use the email filters to flag these (not robust enough), but Bell should be able to read this and act on it before it gets to my inbox since I have chosen the “Put In junk mail folder” for Spam under Security settings, but it isn’t doing that.

Bell, is there a bug somewhere?

Best regards

Don't know if RazorGate is used by Bell or not.

It could be a tag that originated from the mail sender service, not the Bell receiving service.

So the company that uses these tags is vadesecure.com.

It isn’t being added on my side since I’m looking at the email through webmail on Safari.

This is a likely a bug in Bell - maybe they just installed Vade and don’t have it set up properly.

I highly doubt they would not have it setup properly. Maybe you are using something like bitdefender or another solution.

No, I’m not using Bitdefender. Like I said I’m using the webmail interface in the browser so nothing is coming between me and the Bell email server.

I work in IT for a global company that has their own email servers and I know it can be human error that maybe one of the email servers didn’t get updated properly or isn’t up-to-date with the latest header filters.

I also know that Bell has multiple email servers and it is most likely that the one my father and I are on (I’ve had this account for more than 30 years) is missing a related update.

Unfortunately I don’t know which one my account is on so I am stuck.

Does anyone know how to log a bug with Bell?

I checked my Bell e-mail headers and there's no mention of any RazorGate tags in the headers.

This is why I mentioned bitdefender, but also other spam measures at user machine level, can scan incoming mail as part of their anti-spam features, and they can use RazorGate or other services for that purpose and flag the mail as suspected spam.
